Feed Description: Food for Thought
The svn repository for acts_as_ferret has just been tagged with version 0.2.1. This is the first version of aaf to officially support the 0.9.x branch of Ferret.
Acts_as_ferret is a plugin for Ruby on Rails which makes it simple to implement full text search for Rails. It builds on Ferret which is a ruby port of Apache Lucene. It is a technology suitable for nearly any application that requires full-text search.
Jens Krämer is the real driver behind this release. A quick peek at the number of his commits totally diminishes my own contribution. Check out his RDig software and also his guide on how to integrate Ferret and Typo using aaf.
