Plug into HyperEstraier with acts_as_searchable

Posted by marcel, April 6, 2006 @ 8:18 pm in Releases, Tools

Patrick Lenz has announced his acts_as_searchable plugin which integrates ActiveRecord models with HyperEstraier, an open source fulltext search engine.

It’s available as a gem so you can just do sudo gem install acts_as_searchable.

You can then take a look at the API docs, which provide a few examples.

Full text searching just got as simple as:

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base

  acts_as_searchable

end

Article.fulltext_search(‘biscuits AND gravy’)
