Browser extension for downloading .puz/.jpz files from Crossword applets
There's nothing too groundbreaking here - a great PuzzleMe -> PUZ/JPZ bookmarklet was posted here just last week, and xword-dl can pull puzzles from applets as well - but my hope is this makes it a bit easier to use and keep up to date, and also supports a few more formats + has a bit deeper compatibility for trickier puzzles.

Creating an advanced search engine with PostgreSQL
If you're looking for a turn-key solution, I'd have to dig a little. I generally write a scraper in python that dumps into a database or flat file (depending on number of records I'm hunting).
Scraping is a separate subject, but once you write one you can generally reuse relevant portions for many others. If you can get adept at a scraping framework like Scrapy you can do it fairly quickly, but there aren't many tools that work out of the box for every site you'll encounter.
Once you've written the spider, it's generally able to be rerun for updates unless the site code is dramatically altered. It really comes down to how brittle the spider is coded (i.e. hunting for specific heading sizes or fonts or something) instead of grabbing the underlying JSON/XHR that doesn't usually change frequently.
