I''m currently evaluating an evolution of our search technology usage, and am hoping that the community may have some suggestions. Solr (acts_as_solr) seems to capture most of our search requirements (query language, scalability, facets). Unfortunately 2 key elements fall outside the capabilities of solr and am interested in how others would approach the solution. 1. geographic queries. Would prefer to have these queries happen in the database 2. relational (think scoped_by) queries ala current_user.blog_posts.find_recent ...both the above could be done post solr, but I shudder at the scalability of such solutions. Perhaps the solution is to add such capabilities to solr itself? [ I may have talked (typed) myself into the eventual solution. ] Are there any giants out there who have come before me, with whom I may stand upon your shoulders? cheers, Jodi --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
