Question: Why is your client with "largest site" using acts_as_ferret in the first place?
Scoundrel · 1 year ago

Frank,

AFAIU, they simply did not hear about nginx back then and started using what everyone else in Rails community was using - ferret. Later many people I know migrated away from ferret, but when our client was creating his service, ferret was one of the most popular SE solutions which have Ruby client libraries and/or Rails plugins.

I understand. Have you evaluated Lucene as an option?

At this point we've just decided to stick to the technology we've used to. I mean both customer and me use sphinx in many places and sphinx integration process looks much easier for us at this moment.

Nice. Has it been filed to Rails Trac? I'm actually digging AR sources and trying to help core team with fixes. So should I create ticket for this first or can you please point me to it?

There's about 10 000 tickets in their Trac :(

2Michael: I've never filled it as a bug, cause' I wasn't sure that it is a bug. Feel free to file it in rails trac if you think it is.
