search for: datetool

Hi all, Have been looking at lucene and ferret. Have noticed that ferret takes ~463 seconds to index 200Mb of docs, whereas lucene takes ~60 seconds. I''m using the standard "get you started" sort of code provided by both libraries. My ruby code is: (abridged) @index = Index::Index.new(:path => inIndexPath) def createIndex(inRepositoryPath)

Along with the contents of the documents in my index, I have stored the date they were added. I want to search for keywords in the index but have the results be sorted by their date rather than their relevance to the keywords. How would I do this in ferret? Thanks, Carl
