Hi Jerod
What you've read is right - you need two indices defined, and you can put them
in the same file:
ThinkingSphinx::Index.define :topic, with: :active_record, name:
'straight_topics' do
indexes :name, sortable: true
end
ThinkingSphinx::Index.define :topic, with: :active_record, name:
'infixed_topics' do
indexes :name, sortable: true
set_property enable_star: true, min_infix_len: 2
end
And then with searching:
Topic.search 'apple', index_weights: {'straight_topics_core' => 3,
'infixed_topics_core' => 1}
This will mean you can't have enable_star or min_infix_len set globally in
config/thinking_sphinx.yml though, as it shouldn't apply to every index.
Give this a shot, let us know how you go.
Cheers
