Sunspot & Solr

Seth Vargo edited this page May 6, 2012 · 1 revision

Every mail client needs fast, powerful searching. For Envelope, we chose solr with sunspot because:

  1. it's easy to setup in development (sunspot is packaged with it's own version of solr)
  2. it's relatively fast and respected in the community

If you're using foreman (and you should be), solr is automatically started when you run foreman start.

At this time, we are still perfecting the search algorithm.
