What is the difference between searchlogic and other fulltext search plugins?

I am looking for an alternative to acts_as_solr or thinkingsphinx for fulltext search in my Rails app. Came across searchlogic. Does it support indexing? I am planning to host my app on heroku and I want an alternative because heroku charges for Websolr. I am aware of the alternative way of using texticle or acts_as_tsearch but i want to use searchlogic for its features.

Solution

  • Searchlogic supports searching by providing an assortment of ActiveRecord named scopes. It's not a full text search engine as Solr or Sphinx are.
