I installed Sphinx and Thinking Sphinx on ruby-on-rails 2.3.2 and on Windows 7 pc.
First of all, if I run rake ts:start, it won't start at all. It keep saying "Starting..." and it never starts. Even though, the simple search(with no filtering nor conditions) works fine. When I try to add a filter, it won't return any record.
My model looks like this:
class Announcement < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :announcement_type
belongs_to :user
belongs_to :province
has_many :announcement_favorites
has_many :announcement_comments
has_many :announcement_subscriptions
has_many :announcement_views
acts_as_taggable_on :tags #,:category
validates_presence_of :title, :description, :expirationDate
define_index do
indexes title, :as => :title, :sortable => true
indexes description, :as => :description, :sortable => true
has province_id, :as => :province_id
end
And I'm searching this way:
Announcement.search params[:announcement][:search].to_s, :with => {:province_id => 1} ,:page => params[:page], :per_page => 10
Based on all the great documentation Thinking Sphinx has, and all the posts I've read about it, I can't understand what I'm doing wrong.
I just want to clarify that after I modify the index, I run the rake ts:index, ts:config commands and then I restart the searchd windows service just in case, and so the application, just to make sure everything is refreshed.
Thanks in advance,
Brian
