Hi, i'm currently using ferret+acts_as_ferret for doing some searches
in the db (not so big for now, just 40k~ records, but they will be
near 2M+ soon). For now ferret it's working quite well, but sometimes
i've indexes corrupted (i use it's drb server in production) and i've
to rebuild all the indexes, so i've bad indexes, angry users and time
spent to make it right.
I'm looking at sphinx and it seems the answers to this problems, as it
seems that it doesn't have this such of problems. But i've seen that
i've to remake indexes everytime (/hour or less).. does it take a lot
to rebuild them?
Is there anyone who use shpinx in production?
Another big question about it is if it's possible to create custom
indexes without having the records in the db, for example with ferret
it's just a :fields => {:my_custom_field => {}} and then a method
named my_custom_field which set what i need (for example a list of
strings/integers, that i need to index, like category ids "4 8 15 16
23 42", and then doing a query searching with for example 15, or stuff
like that (actually i've 8 fields, but soon they will be around 12-15)
Is it possible something like this with sphinx?
For ferret there is acts_as_ferret, for sphinx what do you suggest ?
acts_as_sphinx or is there something else?
thank you
