I need an indexing and searching gem like Sphinx but without needing Rails Any suggestions ? It has to run under Ruby 1.9.3 on a windows box. Tried Sphinx without rails but it needs MySql and a lot of configuration, diddn’t succeed. Can you recommend something that uses a build in db or feature like Sqlite ?
While certain plugins (like
thinking_sphinx) are Rails-specific, Sphinx itself is just a search server, and you can use the client gem directly to index and search whatever you want; it need not be in ActiveRecord (which, incidentally, you could also use outside of Rails if you wished).Another alternative is Apache Solr, which provides similar functionality to Sphinx, including a sophisticated search system (supporting stemming and lots of other nice things).
