Random errors in tests caused by outdated index

[Simone Carletti]

I've been experiencing random error in my tests (unexpected results)
and I had hard time trying to figure out which was the issue.

I usually run a couple of similar tests to stress all the possible
behaviors of a single method. The first test passed without any
problem, all consequent tests failed.
I noticed that forcing the rebuild of the index with Model.reindex
resolved the issue so I investigated further and I remember where the
documentation explains that index changes are not immediately
committed.

I changed the after/before filters to use the bang-version of index
and remove_from_index and everything went fine.

What about providing an additional option to enable the user to choose
which strategy the searchable method should implement?

Hi Simone,

Thanks for the feedback. The bang! method of index changes is
basically just a short hand for "do this and commit" - it's not really
a "strategy", and I think it's important that users of the API issue
commits explicitly, as commits are expensive on the Solr side.
