Question

Im trying to set up thinking sphinx in my rails 3 app. I set up mysql and installed sphinx without error. In my gemfile i have

gem "riddle", "~> 1.5.0"
gem "thinking-sphinx", "~> 2.0.10"

These install fine. In my model i have

define_index do
    indexes :name
    indexes acad_field
    indexes expertise
    indexes interests
    indexes experience
    indexes marital_status
    indexes email
    indexes place_of_birth
    indexes birthyear
    indexes hometown
    indexes current_residence
    indexes languages
    indexes nationalities
    indexes ethnicities_mom_dad
    indexes institution
    indexes program

end

and in my index in my controller i have

def index
 #@profiles = Profile.all
 @profiles = Profile.search params[:search]
 respond_to do |format|
   format.html # index.html.erb
   format.json { render :json => @profiles }
 end
end

in my routes i have

match "profiles?search=:search", :to => "profiles#index"

when i try running a search i get the error

Routing Error

undefined method `define_index' for #<Class:0xb3ada670>

What i am doing wrong here.
