sunspot-rails

I have a mini blog app and i would like user to view articles that relates to what they are reading in the article show page. without the sunspot_rails gem i would do something like this in my model def self.related_search(query, join = "AND") find(:all, :conditions => related_search_conditions(query, join)) end def self.related_search_conditions(query, join) query.split(/\s+/).map do |word| '(' + %w[name description notes].map { |col| "#{col} LIKE #{sanitize('%' + word.to_s + '%')}" }.join(' OR ') + ')' end.join(" #{join} ") end then in my view it would be like this @article.related_search

If I run: rake sunspot:reindex , then everything works as expected. What could be causing this issue? As mentioned by Jason, you can call Sunspot.commit_if_dirty to issue a commit from your client. From the server configuration side, another approach would be to set the autoCommit property in your solrconfig.xml to automatically issue

Let me know if I am wrong, but I think solr only expects fields that are already mentioned in the schema.xml. So, if I have a field called 'title', I need to mention this in the schema. There is no mentioning about modifying the schema.xml in the Sunspot's documentation. I am just wondering how Sunspot modifies schema.xml allowing custom fields to be entered to the index. I also know that Sunspot uses RSolr to do things. So if there is a way to modify the schema and reload data from DB to Solr using RSolr, please let me know. As karmajunkie alludes to, Sunspot uses its own standard schema. I
