GSoC 2013: Week 8 of Grandham project

Last weekly I mainly worked on Search feature and admin interfaces. Here's a quick review:

  • Experimented with various search engines like Sphinx, Ferret, etc and finally decided to use Solr with sunspot gem as it worked well with unicorn data without any configuration.
  • Wrote a general search backend interface for Grandham. We can plugin other search engines anytime as long as it communicated the way Grandham needs it.
  • Added Admin interfaces managing Authors and Publishers.
