exactly the point. you develop an idea, want to run it in production and have a hell of a time. I've used ferret only in two projects. Project one was very simple and we had no problems. The other project was a bit more complex, no problems in development, but when we put it in production, the index update failed totally, missing to add things to the index, even after full reindexing the whole dataset. We didn't give it too much time though, so such issues may be solvable. But to switch the whole thing to sphinx was a matter of a day or two (with no previous knowledge of Sphinx) and it worked in production as in development right away. Ok, a bit more work to setup everything, but since then running (several months now) without the least trouble. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
