What do you find lacking in the full text search that comes with Postgres that you need feel you also need Sphinx? http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/textsearch.html

Thanks, this is very helpful. However when I run: rake thinking_sphinx:index from my rails app I get below, do I need any additional steps?

Sphinx cannot be found on your system. You may need to configure the following settings in your config/sphinx.yml file: * bin_path * searchd_binary_name * indexer_binary_name

For more information, read the documentation: http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/advanced_config.html Generating Configuration to /Users/gabemcmillan/rails_projects/pa1/config/development.sphinx.conf sh: /users/gabemcmillan/src/sphinx-0.9.9/src/indexer: No such file or directory
