This plugin adds full text search capabilities and many other nifty features from Apache's Solr to any Rails model. It was based on the first draft by Erik Hatcher.
The current stable release is v0.9 and was released on 06-18-2007.
Please refer to the CHANGE_LOG

# Just include the line below to any of your ActiveRecord models:
acts_as_solr
# Or if you want, you can specify only the fields that should be indexed:
acts_as_solr :fields => [:name, :author]
# Then to find instances of your model, just do:
Model.find_by_solr(query) #query is a string representing your query
# Please see ActsAsSolr::ActsMethods for a complete info
To test code that uses acts_as_solr you must start a Solr server for the test environment. You can do that with rake solr:start RAILS_ENV=test
However, if you would like to mock out Solr calls so that a Solr server is not needed (and your tests will run much faster), just add this to your test_helper.rb or similar:
class ActsAsSolr::Post
def self.execute(request)
true
end
end
