Hi, Fantastic presentation! Can you recommend any other sites, articles, etc for using Sphinx + faceted search on Rails? I’ve been using acts_as_solr for about 1.5 yrs but Solr is causing some problems on my server. Besides it seems like the development of it is dead so I’m thinking of replacing it with Sphinx.
Ultrasphinx is also out of development now, just in favor of thinking sphinx.
You can try thinking sphinx.
Thanks for the tip. Are there any good guides to using filters/facets and thinking sphinx?
@anrake: Solr is anything but dead… check the commits list: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/lucene-solr-commits/
If you have any problems with Solr check the solr-user mailing list.

You can also try fSphinx:
