Question

Ruby on Rails – UltraSphinx

Hi guys, I’m using Ultrasphinx for the search thing.

My question is : I have the “rake ultrasphinx:daemon:start” running in the background. Now, should I have a cron job that does “rake ultrasphinx:index” regularly or will the daemon take care of indexing whenever a new object is created.

Please, let me know. Its kind of emergency.

Thanks

You will have to run a cron job to regularly update your index. However, you can run the rake task ultrasphinx:index:delta to only update the delta index which contains recently changed records.

From time to time, you might also want to merge your delta index into your main index using the task ultrasphinx:index:merge

Hope this helps.
