[LRUG] Solr or Sphinx

[Riccardo Tacconi]

I can see that Thinking Sphinx is very easy to use but powerfull. It seems
that sunspot and sunspot_rails are more used than acts_as_solr.

I still not sur what to use :-)

Where I work there is a department that is already using Sorl, so I wuold
not need to install another search server. Thanks for all the good advices.
