I've got a smallish site with not a ton of data at the moment.. but
all that could change at some point so I'd like to plan with that in
mind. Currently I'm deployed on an nginx/mongrel stack that works
quite well. My site uses Ferret for search and it's ok.. the big
problem is that some terms don't show up as expected.. especially if
there are apostrophes, plurals, etc involved.
I've got two choices that I see... pony up the O'reilly mini-pdf and
tweak ferret settings or scrap ferret and go with Sphinx (and hope it
handles cases like this better). I'm not sure how much time the
latter would take me but, assuming that I'm going to spend somewhere
around 40 hours anyway, which route would you all recommend?
Thanks for your time,
Vince
