I played with IndexTank a bit this past weekend, and it seems like they are really hurting from lack of a good gem that fits into Active Record. When compared to something like ThinkingSphinx or a project like that it feels very un rails-ish.
I noticed this project has cropped up to try and solve it, which is awesome:
https://github.com/flaptor/thinkingtank https://github.com/flaptor/thinkingtank
however it's not Rails 3 compatible right now.
If I were IndexTank, getting a gem like that up to speed would be my top priority I think to get real traction on Heroku or amongst rails folks.
- gregwebs 16y agoWhy would one want to use IndexTank instead of Sphinx Search?
- jhandl 16y agoIndexTank is a hosted service, you don't have to build, configure or manage your own search infrastructure.
