Quick question, but does anyone who uses ultrasphinx have problems with partial names not showing? For instance, if i search for CORN, i'll get nothing, but if i search for CORNHUSKERS my results appear? I want to be able for a user to just type corn and they get all available permutations of the word corn. i tried setting enable_star = 1 and min_prefix_len = 4 in the default.base file. I then ran rake ultrasphinx:configure again. reloaded the index and restarted teh daemon, but i still don't get that functionality? can anyone confirm that i am doing it wrong, i hope so! anyone have a solution? great post.

The Rails world moves (absurdly) fast, though, and since then things have shifted in the direction of Thinking Sphinx. We just haven't yet felt enough pain with our current solution to justify making a switch.

It also has some obvious bugs like having '//' in the index file paths instead of putting them let's say in a 'data' subfolder. It doesn't seem to be an active project. GitHub forking is nice, but can you rely on a fork that's not widely adopted and tested?
