Hi Pat,
I have one more question here.
The code you recommended
( writeboards.collect(&:writeboard_contents).flatten.collect(&:body).join('
') ) is veeeery heavy on the application. It takes forever to load on
my development machine. Also, doing this means we lose some big
benefits from the search. ThinkingSphinx must know at some point what
objects contain the search keyword. Now, it seems I have to retrieve
all objects (heavy process) then filter them again (another heavy
process) through excerpts.
Is there any way of retrieving only the objects Sphinx found in the
search?
I realize I could create another ThinkingSphinx search for that, but
that still doesnt seem to make much sense to me...
Best regards,
Gedeon
