Sunspot version 0.9 has been released!
## DESCRIPTION
Sunspot is an expressive library for indexing and searching persistent Ruby
objects using the Solr search server. All interaction with Solr is done using
a pure-Ruby API of intuitive DSLs.
## FEATURES/PROBLEMS
Sunspot provides an intuitive abstraction layer for the following Solr features:
* Dismax-based fulltext search with field and document boost
* Construction of complex queries with scoping by scalar attributes
* Field, date, and query faceting
* Ordering by field; random ordering
In addition, Sunspot makes search easier with the following features:
* Seamlessly integrate Sunspot with any persistent storage using flexible
adapter structure
* Access objects referenced by facets on fields containing a foreign key
* Combine multiple calls to index documents into a single batch request
* Index data retrieved from existing methods or blocks for search-specific data
## DEPENDENCIES
* RSolr
* Daemons
* OptiFlag
* Haml
* Java
