Interesting! I saw real-time indexing but then I saw this on https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/flying_sphinx#delta-indexing-ruby-only:
*"Please note:* at this point in time, Flying Sphinx does not yet support Sphinx’s realtime indices. If you’d like this feature, please contact Flying Sphinx support <http://support.flying-sphinx.com>." So is that note outdated? Or am I currently talking to Flying Sphinx support? :) As for the backup situation, am I correct in hearing you as saying that I basically would need to run ts:generate each time the server starts up? That doesn't seem horrible. My current indices only take a few seconds to build. I'm new to Heroku though -- is there any way to automate that process? I imagine there would be... Then, for the capbilities of realtime indices, I'm assuming they're basically a superset of regular indices? Put another way, we can use the same index file, but just add :with => :real_time? Thanks, Pat, for all you do.
