Thinking sphinx with multiple instance
Problem: How to run multiple thinking_sphinx instance in the single app itself? Solution: this can usually be done by adding some settings to a file named sphinx.yml in your config directory. example:
development: port: 3312 test: port: 3313 production: port: 3315

Thinking Sphinx and indexing multiple table through one model
Hmmmph... So I am the one having the first problem. Lemme explain it. Scenario:So I have this model that uses multiple tables. Based on some settings it changes the table name it should refer to. Eg. For hindi posts, it should browse hi_posts table and for English posts it should browse en_posts. Now I wanted to implement Search Engine on search of this model and I want to select from the index generated for the hindi table for hindi posts and from index of en_posts for english posts. Problem: TS generates the index based on model names. So if I generated index with hi_posts and them change the table name in model to en_posts the index from second table will overwrite the index for hindi posts. Solution:Still looking for a solution... References: Posted it at FreelancingGods.com
In the light of IndexTank being open sourced by LinkedIn, here is a post in which Gautam Rege compares IndexTank with Thinking Sphinx and WebSolr. Feature-wise IndexTank has some advantages over Solr and almost none when compared wtih Thinking Sphinx.
When I first set out needing full text searching, I used Solr. It was pretty good though re-indexing took ages and to ensure consistency, I had to re-index every day via cron. Then I found Thinking Sphinx – and loved it because it managed delta indexes! Wow – no more daily re-index cron jobs. Even the re-indexing was way quicker.
The big issue with both Solr and TS was that it required tight integration with models and my database. For example – in TS, if a relationship was changed, I had to ensure to trigger the parent / child delta index in order to ensure it gets indexed too. Both TS and Solr add methods to ActiveRecord, which I find a little annoying. These nuances gets my code too dependent on TS or Solr and switching from them to something else becomes a big pain!

A potential solution to Thinking Sphinx's "Failed to start searchd daemon."
If you're getting the error:
Failed to start searchd daemon. Check /log/searchd.log.
in your Rails environment, check your log/ directory for any suspect *.pid files relating to ThinkingSphinx. You may have shut down the ThinkingSphinx process uncleanly (either through a process kill or an dirty / forced shutdown) and it locks to a Thinking Sphinx process that doesn't exist any more.
(Note: I know this is kind of UNIX 101, but it caught me out. It should show in search results as a reasonable solution to this problem.)
