Ultrasphinx is awesome... I use it for many sites. and as well I have some capistrano+ultrasphinx recipes. http://frederico-araujo.com/2007/12/7/capistrano-2-1-and-ultrasphinx
Sphinx is not as complete, but almost, as SOLR... but all I can say is that sphinx itself is a piece of art software. It indexes REALLY fast, 5 seconds, 25,000 records database, I have a cron job that each hour it updates the index. /ultrasphinx/production.conf'... indexing index 'complete'... collected 25088 docs, 10.4 MB sorted 1.7 Mhits, 100.0% done total 25088 docs, 10409184 bytes total 5.361 sec, 1941487.86 bytes/sec, 4679.33 docs/sec FERRET is in my second choice only because shared hosts won't support sphinx.... what a sad thing :( On Jan 8, 4:00 pm, Raymond O'Connor <[EMAIL PROTECTED] s.net> wrote: > Ya we use ferret right now on our site.
