From: Aaron Patterson Date: 2009-10-17T10:15:25+09:00 Subject: [ANN] texticle 1.0.1 Released Get ready to tickle some text with texticle! A new version is released! texticle version 1.0.1 has been released! * Texticle exposes full text search capabilities from PostgreSQL, and allows you to declare full text indexes. Texticle will extend ActiveRecord with named_scope methods making searching easy and fun! Changes: ### 1.0.1 / 2009-04-14 * 1 minor enhancement * Textical adds a rake task to generate FTS index migrations. Just run: rake textical:migration ## SYNOPSIS: In environment.rb: config.gem 'texticle' Declare your index in your model: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base index do name description end end Use the search method Product.search('hello world') Full text searches can be sped up by creating indexes. To create the indexes, add these lines to your Rakefile: require 'rubygems' require 'texticle/tasks' Then run: $ rake texticle:create_indexes Alternatively, you can create a migration that will build your indexes: $ rake texticle:migration ## REQUIREMENTS: * Texticle may be used outside rails, but works best with rails. ## INSTALL: * sudo gem install texticle -- Aaron Patterson http://tenderlovemaking.com/
