Is there a way in sphinx to define indices in a custom way.
Problem – I have a product model and multiple admins exists in the system. each admin can take their own notes on every product. hence notes is not a simple text field. Rather, it is a separate model. Product as well as admin has_many notes. When a admin searches the product listing, i want to make sure that he is enabled to search only through his notes.
I understand that sphinx indexes are stored in a document (internal to sphinx). For instance, all the indices of a product “dell xps” will be in a single document. It means that all the notes will be in the same document. If only i have a way to store admin_id and notes of each product into separate sphinx documents, i can acheive my requirement of searching on my notes alone. That is, a dell product will have its indices across 3 documents if 3 people has made notes about it. FYI, Similar feature exists in elastic search. any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance
Found out that this feature is not exploited in thinking sphinx. sad
