Thanks, Ryan.  I will do this too, was just looking to see what the current
de facto standard method for this is.  Digging a little deeper on both
GitHub and RubyForge, it seems that the gem has been pretty much dormant for
several years, so I'm looking to see whether people have moved on to another
fork or another lib.  Will post any findings.

Thanks, Clifford, for the tip.  It's not exactly what I need for this
particular part of the application, as I'm using the Classifier LSI feature
to index documents and detect similar records, but it might be worth
investigating as a replacement for Sphinx in other places in this app and
others I'm working on.
