I am building a simple Rails website, where users can create posts and people can search for posts. I am hosting this application with heroku.
I was looking for options for the search functionality, and found IndexTank (starter) as the only free option with heroku.
Is it a good idea to use IndexTank for a requirement like mine? Should I go ahead with using just ActiveRecord finders to implement this search or I should use IndexTank?
Additionally, can anyone provide me with a very nice IndexTank tutorial to get started with? I found few tutorials, but could not really progress with those. Thanks.
Don't know if you have seen the official IndexTank gem for Rails:
https://github.com/kidpollo/tanker
The README file comes with some examples.
Also, here's a complete demo app:
https://github.com/adrnai/rails-3-tanker-demo
Please let me know if this helps, you can always email support # indextank dot com and we'll help you get started!

are there any good references to start looking into building a simple but efficient tracking/event tool? Super simple version of a tool like Google Analytics. I am assuming this consist of two separate applications. One for the front-end which gets embedded into the client's website, and a back-end API to handle the events, queue, etc.
Preferred tools for the back-end for me is Rails.
I appreciate the help.
You'd be reinventing the wheel, but you'll need a javascript library to track the user and a rails API. Pretty much what you seem to know you need.
Here's the documentation on building a rails API: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/api_app.html
Refer to the top answer here for the javascript module: User Activity Tracking or Logging with javascript

I am looking for a ruby on rails wiki application. which i can download and modifiy according to my needs. i tried instiki but is there anything apart from that ? Which has basic formtting and version histories features implemented ?
Thank you
Don't overlook Wagn http://wagn.org/ Quoting Ward Cunningham "The freshest thing in Wiki since I coined the term".
Pretty great as a Wiki and searchable database, and soon to be even more of an OO application platform in its own right.
Ruby Toolbox is the place to go for this. I recommend Gollum for your needs. It is a simple wiki system built on top of Git that powers GitHub Wikis.
Look at Irwi and Perwitiky. Both are inactive now, but Irwi seems to be more up to date and is Rails 3 ready.
I recommend looking at the RubyGems site
Wiki2Go could do the job for you.
FYI: Here are the search results

I've been searching the internet without success, looking for info on acts_as_ferret. The few pages I've found show methods that apparently doesn't exist any more (my rails app show me the "method not found error", and the docs in the acts_as_ferret page are very scarce. Anyone have a good tutorial or API docs about this plugin?
And don't forget you also have the source code. Gemedit is nice for quick viewing of gem source code: http://gemedit.rubyforge.org/
The rdoc is placed in your /ruby/gems/1.8/doc/acts_as_ferret-0.5.2/rdoc/index.html directory by default when you install a gem. This should be correct & current with respect to the version you're using. That's usually the best bet if things aren't current online. It looks like there's some documentation here as well: http://rdoc.info/github/jkraemer/acts_as_ferret, not sure if it's appropriate to the version you're using.
If you have a chance, take a look at http://rubygems.org/gems/thinking-sphinx. It's quite popular and has a good amount of current online documentation.

Whats the best guide to start working like creating a plugin/gem. I got this tutorial from railscast but this is very basic.I got some other tutorials but all of them are too basic. Any other tutorial, you can suggest.
and what the things we should kept in mind while creating a gem or plugin?
I might be late to comment here. I found very useful tutorial here. SO. just want to share it with u.
http://guides.rubygems.org/make-your-own-gem/
I warmly recommend Rails Guides at http://guides.rubyonrails.org/ - they provide lots of interesting tutorials.
They also have an article about creating plugins.
I just finished creating my first rails engine which I packaged as a gem. I extracted a lot of useful foundational stuff and wrote up a tutorial on getting started with it:

What do you all think are the best resources for adding a "friendship" system to your rails social networking sites? The main three I have found:
Self-Referential Associations - Railscast
acts_as_network
has_many_friends
However i find that the railscast one tends to be a bit simplistic, and a lack of implementation documentation for the other two. Can anyone recommend any other plugins or tutorials that might help with the development of this aspect of my social network?
Thanks!
If you're using restful authentication I would highly recommend this tutorial. It's not the most elegant fleshed out solution, but it will get you on the right path. I was able to copy the code almost verbatim into an app and it works great.
