I’ve been developing Rails apps now for about three years and I was
always mystified why there was no mainstream approach for running
searches against my models.
I didn’t like the ferret and sphinx approaches as they create MONSTER
index files that have to be deleted from time to time with a CRON job.
Instead, I stumbled upon a reasonably universal approach and have
followed this for all projects.
If you’re still in a quandry after you read this, send me an email and
I’ll copy you some parts of my code that will explain it.
Best of Luck,
David
