...;s all -- have you heard from Rusty about it since? If so, how difficult would it be to integrate this with Xapian?

...r with Sphinx under Rails 3, we think this gem is a pretty great fit. The approach is to use ERB templating to configure Sphinx instead of a DSL. You need to learn the Sphinx configuration syntax, but you get a really flexible solution in exchange. We also support SphinxQL in this gem: http://sphinxsearch.com/docs/manual-0.9.9.html#sphinxql It''s very minimal support, just a wrapper around Mysql2.

But what it does now works just great for me. I wasn't looking to replace the (awful) MediaWiki search (I use SphinxSearch for that, which is vastly better than the built in search). I just wanted a single search point for finding those nuggets I knew I have hidden away somewhere. As an aside, why are the scriptindex field definitions defined in a separate file? Couldn't they go in-line before the data (sort of...

Hi all, there was a recent thread[1] on rails-deploy about Ferret in which a lot of people complained of problems using it in production. I''ve been using Ferret (with DRb) for many months now with no serious issues. I''m assuming the posters know what they''re doing so I''m guessing they''re just using Ferret in higher-scale environments than me. I

I''ve been running some multithreaded tests on Ferret. Using a single Ferret::Index::Index inside a DRb server, it definitely behaves for me as if all readers are locked out of the index when writing is going on in that index, not just optimization -- at least when segment merging happens, which is when the writes take the longest and you can therefore least afford to lock out all reads.
