Hi I'm using ferret happily on a site with 260ish documents in the index. Problem is that the site is still in development and I have to rebuild the index fairly regularly as new fields are added to it, like today when i added price. I have been using a rebuild index action in the admin section but this is clearly the wrong way to do it as it completly kills the site during the rebuild. So question is how do people handle index rebuilds on sites with large indexes and keep them live? I have come accross backgroundrb and think this is the way to go but am unsure about some things. E.g. if you have backgroundrb rebuilding the index, what happens in the meantime with the old index? Is it still accessable while the index is rebuilt? What happens if someone adds a new record during the index getting rebuilt? Id anyone has experience using backgroundrb and ferret then i would really appreciate your comments or code. Thanks very much caspar
