I second Joshua - local DataContexts are safe. The only way this can
leak is if you keep references to objects registered in this context.
So if your context is local, your DataObjects should also be local,
as they have a back reference to the DataContext.

"Search" field on the left of every page relies on Google and is
normally all you need. If you want to seacrh just mailing lists you
can go to Google directly and use this hack:
<search term> site:objectstyle.org/cayenne/lists
