Sunspot_rails isn't respecting :auto_index and :auto_remove
===

I'm trying to make our application more resilient to downtime from our search server. To achieve this, I'm trying to disable the automatic indexing and removal, and manual perform them in a background process.

I'm trying

    searchable :auto_index => false, :auto_remove => false do
    ...
    end

But am still receiving a connection error, every time I try to save or destroy the record.

The backtrace shows that the error is coming from the solr searchable file, so it's definetly sunspot_rails causing the problem. Here is a slice from the backtrace on destroy:

    ...
    rsolr (1.0.8) lib/rsolr/client.rb:67:in `update'
    rsolr (1.0.8) lib/rsolr/client.rb:121:in `delete_by_id'
    sunspot (1.3.3) lib/sunspot/indexer.rb:36:in `remove'
    sunspot (1.3.3) lib/sunspot/session.rb:137:in `block in remove'
    sunspot (1.3.3) lib/sunspot/session.rb:136:in `each'
    sunspot (1.3.3) lib/sunspot/session.rb:136:in `remove'
    sunspot (1.3.3) lib/sunspot/session_proxy/abstract_session_proxy.rb:11:in `remove'
    sunspot (1.3.3) lib/sunspot.rb:410:in `remove'
    sunspot_rails (1.3.3) lib/sunspot/rails/searchable.rb:390:in `solr_remove_from_index'
    sunspot_rails (1.3.3) lib/sunspot/rails/searchable.rb:93:in `block in searchable'
    ...

Any idea why the options to disable these hooks aren't working? Any idea how to actually disable them?

Thanks
