So, I'm working on a search engine of sorts that restricts results to your local area. I can successfully return all entries within 15 miles of a particular point, and I can successfully return all entries that match a search query, but I'm having trouble combining the two together and doing pagination on them.
Basically, for the range query, you do a SQL query that returns all results within +/- 1 latitude/longitude from the point in question, and then you do some spherical trig on each of those results to get only the entries within X number of miles of the point. And for the search query, so far, I've been using acts_as_ferret's find_by_contents method. But now I need to figure out how to take an array of results from the range query, and only do the find_by_contents magic on just the entries in that Array. So far, everything method I've thought of looks like it's going to have performance problems. Any suggestions? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
