Slightly modified version of Thinking Sphinx

Performance improvements

This version uses MySQL ORDER BY FIELD instruction to sort results returned by sphinx without using Ruby. It also means, that it will be incompatible with DBMS not supporting FIELD function.

Removed automated includes

I this version, all of your models which use TS must manually include ThinkingSphinx modules. Example:

class Person

  1. Sphinx
    include ThinkingSphinx::ActiveRecord::Scopes
    include ThinkingSphinx::SearchMethods
    include ThinkingSphinx::ActiveRecord::AttributeUpdates
    include ThinkingSphinx::ActiveRecord::Delta
    define_index do

    end

end

Because of that, it is a lot easier to override default sphinx methods.

Default behaviour in tests

One of the reason to create this fork is to ensure that Thinking Sphinx will behave in same way on both production and test enviroment.

Extended overrides in sphinx.yml

In sphinx.yml you can use:

development:
place_delta_0:
sql_query_pre: [ ‘SET NAMES utf8’ ]

to add an option which is specific only to single section of sphinx configuration file.

Thinking Sphinx

Usage

First, if you haven’t done so already, check out the main usage page. Once you’ve done that, the next place to look for information is the specific method docs – ThinkingSphinx::Search and ThinkingSphinx::Index::Builder in particular.

Keep in mind that while Thinking Sphinx works for ActiveRecord with Merb, it doesn’t yet support DataMapper (although that is planned).

Contributing

Fork on GitHub and after you’ve committed tested patches, send a pull request.

To quickly see if your system is ready to run the thinking sphinx specs, run the contribute.rb script found in the project root directory. Use the following instructions to install any missing requirements.

To get the spec suite running, you will need to install the ginger gem:

sudo gem install ginger --source http://gemcutter.org

Then install the cucumber, yard, jeweler and rspec gems. Make sure you have a git install version 1.6.0.0 or higher, otherwise the jeweler gem won’t install. Bluecloth is required for some of the yard documentation.

  sudo gem install bluecloth cucumber yard jeweler rspec 

Then set up your database:

  cp spec/fixtures/database.yml.default spec/fixtures/database.yml &&
  mysqladmin -u root create thinking_sphinx

This last step can be done automatically by the contribute.rb script if all dependencies are met.

Make sure you don’t have another Sphinx daemon (searchd) running. If you do, quit it with “rake ts:stop”
in the app root.

You should now have a passing test suite from which to build your patch on.

  rake spec

If you get the message “Failed to start searchd daemon”, run the spec with sudo:

  sudo rake spec

If you quit the spec suite before it’s completed, you may be left with data in the test
database, causing the next run to have failures. Let that run complete and then try again.
