Updating ultrasphinx index after save?

Rails
1

Hi,

I’m trying out Ultrasphinx instead of ferret. Unfortunately it seems not
to be possible to update the index (in an efficient way) after creating
or updating a record. I managed to run the update index rake task, but
that’s not a good option.

Here is what I tried:

def update
@user = User.find params[:id]
@user.language = $activelanguage
@user.add_usercategories params[:selectedusercategories] if
params[:selectedusercategories]
@user.updated_at = Time.now

respond_to do |format|
  if @user.update_attributes(params[:user])
    require 'rake'
    require 'rake/testtask'
    require 'rake/rdoctask'
    require 'tasks/rails'
    Rake::Task["ultrasphinx:index:main"].invoke

…
end

= BAD :slight_smile: . Is there a better way to this? Maby with the delta index?

Thanks

If you really need index updates to happen when a record is updated,
you should use Solr.

Thanks Maurício,

Ok, I’ll also give it a shot :slight_smile: … Damn, I’ve now tried Ferret -
Ultrasphinx … and now Solr :slight_smile: . Madness. Actually I kind of liked
Ultrasphinx.
