Where to ask my questions?

• Me directly through my git account, I’m happy to help :)
• Through the google group for Picky

How can I make the indexing faster?

Currently, Picky uses as default a partial index (for * Queries, like “Yukihiro Matsu*”) a generator Partial::Subtoken.new( :down_to => 1 ), which means that you will get a result when searching for:

• “Yukihiro Matsumoto” (from the exact index)
• “Yukihiro Matsumot” (from here on from the partial index)
• “Yukihiro Matsumo”
• “Yukihiro Matsum”
• “Yukihiro Matsu”
• “Yukihiro Mats”
• “Yukihiro Mat”
• “Yukihiro Ma”
• “Yukihiro M”

It is very intensive, generating an index for all subtokens of e.g. Matsumoto.
If you don’t need that, use a partial generator that just goes down 3 characters:
field(:title, :partial => Partial::Subtoken.new(:down_to => -3))
Like this you find:

• “Yukihiro Matsumot”
• “Yukihiro Matsumo”
• “Yukihiro Matsum”

Or absolute, one that goes down to the e.g. fourth character:
field(:title, :partial => Partial::Subtoken.new(:down_to => 4))

Hope that helps!
