Just wanted to see if I was using the latest acts\_as\_solr plugin, but  
the URL [http://acts\_as\_solr.railsfreaks.com/](http://acts_as_solr.railsfreaks.com/) takes me to a GoDaddy  
domain parking page.

Anyone know what’s happened to railsfreaks, and more particularly  
this plugin?

I suggest rsolr, since it is actively being developed (the Rails 3  
version is in beta, but you can get it with --pre)

I recently switched to rsolr for that reason.

It’s on github – [http://github.com/railsfreaks/acts\_as\_solr](http://github.com/railsfreaks/acts_as_solr)

Thanks for the recommendation.

I’m still interested in knowing if anyone has a fork of the last release  
of acts\_as\_solr (if that’s later than 0.9 development), since it’s in  
use  
in a large complex legacy Rails app.

I had found an online reference to the latest being on the railsfreaks  
site, and that appears to be the case because what we have is later  
than the one on github.

Thanks, though. I’ll snag it to compare.

There’s an acts\_as\_solr\_reloaded that Google suggested, also on  
Github, it looks like it has been given some new tricks.

Apparently I missed that, and it looks like a drop-in replacement.

## Thanks!
