Get ready to tickle some text with texticle! A new version is released!

texticle version 1.0.1 has been released!

- [http://texticle.rubyforge.org/](http://texticle.rubyforge.org/)

Texticle exposes full text search capabilities from PostgreSQL, and  
allows you to declare full text indexes. Texticle will extend  
ActiveRecord with named\_scope methods making searching easy and fun!

Changes:

### 1.0.1 / 2009-04-14

- 1 minor enhancement

## SYNOPSIS:

In environment.rb:

config.gem ‘texticle’

Declare your index in your model:

class Product \< ActiveRecord::Base  
index do  
name  
description  
end  
end

Use the search method

Product.search(‘hello world’)

Full text searches can be sped up by creating indexes. To create the  
indexes, add these lines to your Rakefile:

require ‘rubygems’  
require ‘texticle/tasks’

Then run:

$ rake texticle:create\_indexes

Alternatively, you can create a migration that will build your indexes:

$ rake texticle:migration

## REQUIREMENTS:

- Texticle may be used outside rails, but works best with rails.

## INSTALL:

- sudo gem install texticle

Awesome, I hope it works bette then acts\_as\_tsearch, but knowing your  
track record I’m sure of it.

Keep up good work!
