Will acts_as_ferret work for you? Seems like a good solution, as its a
Ruby/C hybrid and actually faster than Lucene (the project on which it is
based). I know a lot of people are using it though I have no first-hand
experience with it personally.
For full text generic searching acts_as_ferret does look cool.
However, what I'm talking about here is a more line item search, like first
name is bob (STRING), has placed order in last 48 hours (TIME), is an
annoying customer (BOOL). It might even stretch to joins, has photo that is
unapproved etc.
Does Ferret do this? I suppose I could do a before save and produce search
food, like special keys (is_bad_customer:YES) in a text field to feed the
search. But that would prob get out of hand fast.
Maybe I'll bring it up at the meeting. Thanks.
