Does Flying Sphinx support the wordforms option?

   My client is on the ceramic plan ($55/mo) if that makes any difference.

   The short answer: no, they're not - I hadn't even thought about that.

   But now that you've raised it, I'd certainly like to. How would you expect to manage it? Should the flying-sphinx gem figure out which text files to send across to the Sphinx server so it has them as reference points? I guess that'd be painless - you don't need to do anything but set the wordforms setting as normal.

   Ideally FS would just parse my sphinx.yml file and whisk away the appropriate files to where-ever they have to go.

   I assumed FS supported wordforms (it's not listed under "Limitations"), so it's caught me in a bit of an awkward position at the moment. :)

   Sorry about that. I probably won't get to it today, but it's on my list of things to do over the weekend. Will let you know!

   Hi Arron

   Okay, this should just work - provided you're using the latest flying-sphinx. Are you using Rails 3 and/or Bundler? If so, set the source to git://github.com/flying-sphinx/flying-sphinx.git. Otherwise, let me know and I'll push out a new version of the gem.

   And this is just wordforms at the moment, but I'll get it working soon for the other file-based settings as well (stopwords, etc). The server-side stuff is all prepped for that, so it's just a matter of extending flying-sphinx accordingly.

   Rails 2 / Bundler.

   Thanks for the quick fix, Pat.
