Heroku Search to EC2

I am looking into solutions for search in my Ruby on Rails app hosted on Heroku and Amazon RDS.

I have been looking into Flying Sphinx, WebSolr and most recently Bonsai Search. These look good but either quite expensive, (I have a table with 8 millions rows) or not ideal solutions for what I want.

I was wondering if it was possible to setup Solr, or Elastic Search on my own EC2 box and use the search service from my Heroku application, without the need of an Addon? If so, are there any resources available to explain how you can implement this?

Yes, you can - you can build up any service you like externally, and connect to it from your own Heroku application.

For more information on setting things up, Google is probably your friend.
