This plugin adds Cell support (for indexing rich documents) to Sunspot (developed against Sunspot 1.2.1).

The code is based on the patch included here: outoftime.lighthouseapp.com/projects/20339/tickets/98-solr-cell

• Solr Cell libraries (dist/apache-solr-cell-1.4.X.jar and +contrib/extraction/lib/*.jar+ from the standard Solr distribution) placed in the /solr/lib directory as created by the Sunspot gem, in development environment. Your production setup might vary.

• Adjustments to the Solr schema.xml:

<fieldType name=“ignored” stored=“false” indexed=“false” multiValued=“true” class=“solr.StrField” /> and <dynamicField name=“*_attachment” stored=“true” type=“text” multiValued=“true” indexed=“true”/> <dynamicField name=“ignored_*” type=“ignored”/>

This version assumes the attachment attribute has method .data, that returns contents of the attachment.

In your searchable block within your model add the document content attribute as an “attachment” type:

searchable do
  attachment :document_attachment
  ...
end

The plugin will expect a method to be defined that matches the name of the attachment attribute in our example it would be “document_attachment”, e.g.

def document_attachment
  File.read(fname) # Reading contents from a file, you can also supply the contents direct from a DB field
end

• Tests

• Fork the project.

• Make your feature addition or bug fix.

• Add tests for it. This is important so I don’t break it in a future version unintentionally.

• Commit, do not mess with rakefile, version, or history. (if you want to have your own version, that is fine but bump version in a commit by itself I can ignore when I pull)

• Send me a pull request. Bonus points for topic branches.
