search for: acts_as_indexable

I''ve heard that using LIKE is very slow, but I see it being used a lot in examples, blogs etc. Is it really that bad? Since Rails doesn''t directly support Fulltext search, this is the easiest way to get searching done, right? Or are there any other easier ways? I''m using acts_as_indexed right now, but it still doesn''t do what LIKE does.

...ich I need to build a search function. Is there a "Rails" way to index all the entries and NOT search using LIKE? "LIKE" searches can get very slow and I would rather build an index of the columns to speed up things. Just want to know if there is something like "acts_as_indexable" available in ROR? Or even a way to quickly create a keyword index? I appreciate your assistance very much. Thanks Frank --------------------------------- Relax. Yahoo!

Hi all This week I have worked with Rails and Ferret to test Ferrets (and Lucenes) capabilities. I decided to make a mixin for ActiveRecord as it seemed the simplest possible solution and I ended up making this into a plugin. For more info on Ferret see: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ The plugin is functional but could easily be refined. Anyway I want to share it with you. Regard it as a
