在Rails中搜索大型数据集

Question

I am developing a Rails application. I have a large dataset of static titles (about 3.5M) that I am searching a lot through. For now the dataset stored in my PostgreSQL db and I am searching using postgres' index and text_pattern_ops . This works pretty fast, but I am worried it might not scale, as my searches count supposed to increase rapidly.

I thought of storing my dataset in memory as an array and use bloom filtes/aho-coarsick to search, but not sure how or if it's a good approach.

Basically, I am searching for a fast and scalable way to search in large dataset with Ruby on Rails.

We use ElasticSearch, which integrates well with ruby on rails. http://www.elasticsearch.org/blog/unleash-the-clients-ruby-python-php-perl/#ruby
