Rails - Sep 2012 - Tips: workarounds to do free full-text search on Heroku :-)

Recently I started a new side-project, using some full-text search
done with Solr, intending to put it on Heroku.  However, I had
forgotten that Heroku doesn''t allow any Solr for free!  So I ripped it
out and looked for alternatives, winding up with pg_search.  I ran up
against some problems, but figured out some workarounds, and wrote
them up in a two-part blog post:

and

Share And Enjoy!
