Hi there, from my code hunting and general searching I've pretty much
determined that thinking sphinx doesn't support indexing the same
models across a series of databases.

I have a CMS app and each clients data is stored in a separate
database for many reasons. When the rails app gets a connection it
looks at the hostname requested and switches databases accordingly. It
all works quote well except when it comes to search. I managed to get
Ferret to work with multiple databases by adding another key which was
the database name to the ferret index. I also had someone hack
ultrasphinx so that it would encode the database in the upper digits
of the sphinx index. I've decided to make the switch to thinking
sphinx because the setup for ultrasphinx is both complicated and fails
quite a lot (well the indexer does anyway).

Can someone point me in the right direction with regards to modifying
thinking sphinx to work with multiple databases? From what I can tell
most of the changes would be in the configuration.rb file where code
would have to be added to loop both databases and models and index
them appropriately.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated, and I would seriously consider
paying to get it added as an official feature of thinking sphinx.

Looking forward to hearing from you :)

Brendon
