Rails Thinking Sphinx

Here i'm gonna explain you how to use thinking sphinx in rails application.
this can be done in 5 steps 
step 1:  install the gem thinking sphinx.
           i have installed through terminal ( ubuntu linux ) by typing 
           " sudo gem install thinking-sphinx "
           this will install the gem for you.
           include this gem in gem file of your rails application.
           i.e gem 'thinking-sphinx'
           now run bundle install.
step 2:  open the model file for which you want to add search module.
           here i'm taking an example model  " student "
           in this model file student.rb we have two fields 
           1.name
           2.school
           here we are making search on this two fields " name " and " school ". 
           now, add this code in student.rb file
#################################################################################
              define_index do
                  indexes :name
                  indexes :school
              end
#################################################################################
           here we are telling the thinking-sphinx gem to make indexing on these two fields.
step 3:  open the controller file i.e students_controller.rb 
           go to " index " method 
           here basically you will have 
           " @students = Student.all "
           now change this to 
           " @students = Student.search params[:search] "
           here we are adding parameter "search " to make search on the model student.
step 4:  open the view file of index method i.e index.html.erb
           add this form in it
#################################################################################
                            <%= form_tag students_path, :method => :get do  %>
                                   <p>
                                         <%= text_field_tag :search  % >                              
                                   </p>
                                  <p class="button">
                                         <%= submit_tag "Search" %>
                                 </p>
                            <% end %>
#################################################################################
            here we are adding search field to input search request and return the result.
step 5: open terminal and start thinking sphinx indexing by typing
              " rake ts:index "
           next, start thinking sphinx server by typing 
              " rake ts:start "
           you can stop thinking sphinx by typing
             " rake ts:stop "
start you rails server and check it out.
Note: unless you start thinking sphinx server you cant even view page.
thats it.
