I determined with `locale -a` that the locale on the box is called "en_US.utf8", so I added "ENV['LANG'] = 'en_US.utf8'" at the top of my environment.rb (right after "ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'". Still getting the same error: "Error decoding input string. Check that you have the locale set correctly" :( It may be worth noting that it seems to only be a problem with this particular model. I am able to index a different model without any issues. So it's gotta be something with the data. I noticed that my InnoDB topics table was set to latin1 charset, so I changed it to utf8. I still get the same error. Not sure where to go next.
