== Search for text into PDF documents. App example.

This application is a simple example about how a text search can be done into pdf documents. It works with Sphinx and the pdf-reader gem.

== Getting Started

1. Install Sphinx

2. Into the app configure the database connection (Sphinx only will work with MySQL or PostgreSQL)

3. Execute rails s and upload some PDFs

4. Run <code>rake ts:index</code> and <code>rake ts:start</code>

5. Run <code>whenever --update-crontab pdf_index</code> to start the cron job that reindex the records

6. You can also configure the cron job in Rails, now it's working each minute for testing purposes

== Limitations

The app stores texts into DB. The limit for MySQL is 4294967295 characters, so biggest PDFs will trim while storing. It's also possible that the DB server will throw a time-out.

== Todo

- Validate texts on size (perhaps too expensive)
- Write some tests
- Some refactor
