It sounds like a full text search engine might do a bit more than you
need, but based on what you described, should also be sufficient.
I highly recommend Xapian (xapian.org). It has feature-complete Python
bindings, it's very well designed, and its performance is fantastic.
Xapian supports stemmers for most major languages (except for Asian
languages, unfortunately).
Cheers,
