A Month in the Life of Thinking Sphinx

Back in October, Pat Allen asked for donations to help fun his work on Thinking Sphinx. Thinking Sphinx, if you can't recall , is a Ruby interface for ActiveRecord to the Sphinx search daemon. And, this past Sunday, he wrote up an article covering everything that the community got in return for the investment. He added testing macros, multi-index support, default Sphinx scopes, and more. It's worth a look if you're doing full-text searching in your application.
