sunspot_solr is just a tweak of the sunspot gem, which additionally ships with a Solr installation. I think it's good to draw a line and not include individual extensions of listed gems, in order to keep the gem lists more focused.
redis-search has been deprecated and archived. https://github.com/huacnlee/redis-search
It hasn't received a commit for over 6 years.
acts_as_ferret hasn't received a commit for over 7 years. Also, it seems that Ferret is still maintained.
It hasn't received a commit in almost 4 years, and it has some open issues from 2012. The popular alternative, Sunspot, is still maintained.
It hasn't received a commit for almost 7 years.
There hasn't been a release for over 3 years.
It's repository is gone and there hasn't been a release for over 3 years. The pg_search gem is a good alternative and still actively maintained.
It has been deprecated over Sunspot for a long time now.
It hasn't received an update for almost 4 years.
It hasn't received a commit for 9 years.
It hasn't received a commit for over 5 years.
It has long been deprecated over Tire, which has long been deprecated over elasticsearch-ruby.
There are already elasticsearch and sunspot gems listed in this category, both of which make it clear that there are corresponding Rails extensions available. So it's redundant to list the Rails extensions separately.
It's been archived and deprecated over the offical Elasticsearch Ruby client (the lead maintainer also moved there). https://github.com/karmi/retire

There were many outdated and unmaintained gems in the "Rails Search" category, so I removed them to keep the list more focused. I included the rationale for removal in each respective commit message.
I also removed the
elasticsearch-railsandsunspot_railsextensions, because I considered them to be redundant given thatelasticsearchandsunspotgems are already on the list and their READMEs mention the existence of their respective Rails extensions.
