Configuring Search

Pre-requisites

Teambox uses sphinx for search. You will also need a mysql or postgresql database in which to store the index.

Enabling search

By default search in Teambox is disabled. In order to enable it you will need to modify this line in config/teambox.yml and change the false value to true :

    # Enable search (you must have thinking_sphinx installed and configured)
    # See http://wiki.github.com/teambox/teambox/configuring-search for more 
    # information on configuring search
    allow_search: false

Once you have enabled search, you will need to generate the search index:

    RAILS_ENV=production rake preload_indexed_models ts:index

Then simply run the following to start sphinx:

    RAILS_ENV=production rake preload_indexed_models ts:start

Finally, you will need to periodically update the search index in order to keep up to date:

    RAILS_ENV=production rake preload_indexed_models ts:rebuild
