Using Sphinx with RT

RT Users

Hi all,
is there anybody already using Sphinx with RT to implement fast and efficient full-text search?

For RT developers: are there plans for implementing better full-text search in RT in the (near) future? What about RT 4?

I just want to know before I spend considerable time and efforts trying to integrate Sphinx in our RT setup.

TIA

Bye

I have not seen anything in the RT4 discussions about updating
or including a full-text search function. The easiest way is to
use one of the existing database backends with full-text support,
either PostgreSQL or Oracle currently. It would be great if you
could get a more general full-text index support into RT with
Sphinx, since it can use ODBC to access the backend data for
indexing. The need to use a second SQL connection to Sphinx and
the ODBC backend interconnect to the RT datastore really
complicates the interface.

Good luck,
Ken
