Can somebody explain to how to do this last step in this tutorial

I am attempting to add search functionality to my Django app by using haystack and elasticsearch, and after doing some searching on google I came across this tutorial:

http://www.techstricks.com/django-haystack-and-elasticsearch-tutorial/

I follow it through the whole way, but at the end it seems to wrap it up in a rather abrupt manner, for I didnt fully understand the last step. Could someone explain to me what the last bit of html/python was and how I can link this all to a form so I can actually search for things. Also one last thing, in the tutorial when you add the url:

(r'^search/', include('haystack.urls')),

it isnt preceded by "url" like in other django urls, is this conventional or typo or what? Any answers would be great, thanks.
