Hi Graham Sorry for the pause in communication - work and life is pretty busy at the moment.
The first thing I need to do (or if you want to search around, please do) is confirm whether Sphinx can limit searches to multiple indexes. The API allows for a string specifying an index name, which defaults to '*' for *all* indexes (Thinking Sphinx's behaviour). What I'm looking for is whether there's syntax (comma-separated, perhaps) for multiple index names, instead of just one. -- Pat On 09/09/2009, at 10:54 AM, Graham Glass wrote: > > Hi Pat, > > Any feedback on this issue? > It's quite important that I solve the problem soon. > > Thanks! > Graham > > On Sep 8, 1:42 am, Graham Glass <[email protected]> wrote: >> Hi Pat, >> >> Thanks for your response! >> The search doesn't work at all; here's an example: >> >> results = ThinkingSphinx::Search.search 'donkey', :conditions => >> {:language_id => 1}, :classes => [WebResource, Book] >> >> output: >> >> matches = [[], {:attribute_names=>[], :error=>"index >> book_core >> ,district_core,group_core,klass_core,message_core,posting_core,sch >> ool_core,web_resource_core: >> query error: no field 'language_id' found in >> schema", :status=>1, :fields=>[], :matches=>[], :attributes=> >> {}, :words=>{}}] >> >> On WebResource and Book I have the following: >> >> define_index do >> # fields >> indexes name, :sortable => true >> >> # attribute >> has metadata.language_id >> end >> >> where metadata is an object associated with the Material.
