[Ferret-talk] Two Shared Indices(sp?) in aaf.rb file (for Acts_as_ferret)

[Philip Ingram]

Thanks Jens,

no comma, worked like a charm.

i now have two shared indexes in aaf.rb.

I'm looking for some reassurance from you and this project.  are you  
still going to maintain it?  i'd love to help down the road, if you'd  
let me of course, as ferret/aaf rebuilds the search index when new  
items are added, automagically.  i'm sure it's more complicated then  
that of course, however, i don't need to run a rake task and try to  
guess when i should run it, depending on how busy my site is.

All the hip kids are using sphinx and there was a rumour out there  
that ferret hasn't been worked on for like 2 years. is that true?  if  
you want to email me directly, i'm fine with that too, but would love  
to hear about the direction of the project,, and if it's not long  
term, i might as well go with sphinx, rake tasks and delta indexes and  
all...  i'm launching a new site where search is going to be prevalent  
in it, hence these questions.

thanks again jens,
keep up the great work.
