Configuring Search

Teambox can use Sphinx for indexing and search. Your app needs to have a MySQL or PostgreSQL database in order to have Sphinx perform indexing.

Enabling search

By default search in Teambox is disabled. You need to modify “config/teambox.yml” in order to enable it:

# Enable search (you must have thinking_sphinx installed and configured)
allow_search: false

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

$ rake ts:index RAILS_ENV=production

Then simply run the following to start sphinx:

$ rake ts:start RAILS_ENV=production

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

$ rake ts:rebuild RAILS_ENV=production
