Comment on Full text search in in Rails with Sunspot and Solr by Maurício Linhares

There's another article in the oven already about ElasticSearch, it should probably be published the next week but it's a great solution for full text search with Rails and Big Time competition for Solr. Stay tuned to read it too :)

Thanks Maurício! I’ve used Solr on a Rails 2 project with great success. I’ve been toying with the idea of trying out other search solutions with Rails 3, but your tutorial makes it enticing to stick with the devil I know.

Comment on Handling various rubies at the same time in your machine with RVM – Ruby Version Manager by Maurício Linhares

Yeah, gemsets are probably the most important feature on RVM, it surely makes your life easier if you’re dealing with a lot of different projects. It also helps you trying out new things without destroying your whole environment.

Pretty nice, Mauricio!

I already knew the rvm but I didn’t know the “gemset” feature. It’s very interesting, mainly if you’re using this simple approach that was explained by you.

That’s easy, it depends on how deep into Solr you want to go. You could build a TokenFilter that would get “нокиа” and make it “nokia”, that way you could add this filter for both the index and search analyser.

If you don’t want to code in Java and hack into Solr, you can just do it in your Rails models. Heres an example:

searchable do
text :name do
self.name.to_ascii #this would transform all cyrilic characters into common ascii ones
end
end

And when searching you’d do the same:

Product.solr_search do |s|
s.keywords params[:q].to_ascii
end

This way you’ll do everything with a single search.

Hey :)
There is only one input and yes I can derive “нокиа” from “nokia”
lets say “nokia”.to_cyr == “нокиа” and I wish to be able to do search with both in one go, example:
Sunspot.search
keywords “nokia”
keywords “nokia”.to_cyr
It’s a RoR app :)
