I am building a simple Rails website, where users can create posts and people can search for posts. I am hosting this application with heroku.

I was looking for options for the search functionality, and found IndexTank (starter) as the only free option with heroku.

Is it a good idea to use IndexTank for a requirement like mine? Should I go ahead with using just ActiveRecord finders to implement this search or I should use IndexTank?

Additionally, can anyone provide me with a very nice IndexTank tutorial to get started with? I found few tutorials, but could not really progress with those. Thanks.

    Don’t know if you have seen the official IndexTank gem for Rails:

    https://github.com/kidpollo/tanker

    The README file comes with some examples.

    Also, here’s a complete demo app:
