I took a good look at Sphinx and Ultrasphinx, even tried implementation in my app. Unfortunately these were show stoppers for me:
- No real integration with activerecord (plugin just generates sql statements outside of the context of AR. Therefore you can't really use your own custom model methods as fields... as far as I could tell) - No wildcards at all (Sphinx doesn't support them) - No automatic updates - must rebuild entire index using cron jobs. Again using straight SQL, not the current state of your models On the contrary, I could see Sphinx being very appropriate for certain types of apps... but these were important features for my particular use (especially wildcards) --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
