Any suggestion on how to get a two index solution working with acts_as_ferret? I could not find an easy way to change the index location dynamically. I would love to have a "read-only" index. It seems like using rsync might be problematic though as the index might not be in a consistent state throughout the sync. I don't think it is CPU, but it is definitely locking my site for up to a minute during optimization, which is very bad. _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
