similar to: Ferret not able to read a Lucene Index?

Hi there, What''s the current status of the Windows port? I may be in a position to lend a hand over the next couple of weeks - where should I start looking? And what''s the best way to get SVN HEAD? This happens: $ svn checkout svn://www.davebalmain.com/ferret/trunk ferret svn: Can''t connect to host ''www.davebalmain.com'': Connection refused --

Hi List, I''ve took some time and made some tests on the performance of java-lucene, hyperestraier and ferret as Dave encourages the community of ferret to do so. Quite intersting numbers. Ferret indeed deserves to be called a high-performance port!! It''s MyFirstBenchmark ( http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/MyFirstBenchmark ) so please don''t be too cruel on

Hi, >From looking at Ruby sources it seems that every update method deletes and reinserts documents. It makes sense if indexed fields are changed but what if it is not the case? It would speed up update a lot indexes did not have to be updated twice for nothing. Any quick way to do it? -- Sergei Serdyuk Red Leaf Software LLC web: http://redleafsoft.com -- Posted via

Hey guys, Now that the Lucy[1] project has Apache approval and is about to begin, the onus is no longer on Ferret to strive for Lucene compatability. (We''ll be doing that in Lucy). So I''m starting to think about ways to improve Ferret''s API. The first part that needs to be improved is the Document API. It''s annoying having to type all the attributes to

Hi, I''m currently trying to set up a solution involving multiple servers using the same index over nfs. The problem is that from what I have seen, ferret doesn''t support multiple processes writing to the same index. Using a DRb service is not an option since this would create a single point of failure. I tried using Ferret::Store::FSDirectory to create a write lock on the the

Hi All, Hope all is going well. Was just wondering if anyone has implemented a grep style output page of hits using Ferret as the index/query engine? Any thoughts about how best to implement it? The previous thread discussess highlighting - would that be the best approach to follow or is there a better way? Cheers, Marcus -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey, Luke doesn''t seem to be able to open a Ferret index I''ve created. Is this expected? If yes, can someone recommend another index inspection tool? Thanks, John

Hi, We''re using Ferret 0.9.4 and we''ve observed the following behavior. Searching for ''fieldname: foo and bar'' works fine while ''fieldname: "foo and bar"'' doesn''t return any results. Is there a way to make ferret recognize the ''and'' inside the query as a search term and not an operator? (I hope I got the

I''m getting some results that I don''t understand from a search. The code, based on the tutorial, and the results are below. Everything makes sense to me, except the results for the ''title:"Some"'' query. I would think that it should match the first two documents, but not the third. What am I missing here? Thanks for any help! --- code

I am using ferret right now, and it works great for all my regular text documents/information. My problem arises when I want to index/search all of our assets (mostly pdf files). Currently, there is no way to READ pdfs from Ruby. Because of this I have to resort to using Java to read the PDF''s and then Lucene to index them. My problem here is a couple things. One, to index a asset I have

Hi Everyone, I''m using Ferret 0.10.11 with acts_as_ferret from SVN (same results with 0.10.10 and 0.10.9 though). I''m running into an odd problem where the scores of my top-ranking search results are ridiculously small - even when the query is one that should match at least one document with a decent score. To give an example, I have just the names of 5 businesses indexed

Hey all, I went through the docs in Ferret''s page, plus a quick search through the email list (thread titles), and I couldn''t find any info on how to have Ferret storing it''s data using UTF-8. In the scenario I would use it, nothing''s being stored outside (like external databases). So it''s just how Ferret would do it that I''m interesting in

Upgrading to 0.9.0, I have the following error.

Hi all, Am having problems using RDig: With this rdig config... cfg.crawler.start_urls = [''http://www.defensetech.org''] cfg.crawler.include_hosts = [''www.defensetech.org''] cfg.index.path = ''/my/path/to/index'' cfg.verbose = true ...I get this output: $ rdig -c config/rdig_config.rb /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/ferret/index/term.rb:45:

Hey folks, A lot of confusion has been caused by having stop-words filtered by the default analyzer. There have been a few suggestions to remove this feature so I thought I''d put it to a vote. Making this change would not be backwards compatible and would require users to either rebuild their indexes or change their code to keep the same stop-words settings. However, it would save a lot

I''ve been running some multithreaded tests on Ferret. Using a single Ferret::Index::Index inside a DRb server, it definitely behaves for me as if all readers are locked out of the index when writing is going on in that index, not just optimization -- at least when segment merging happens, which is when the writes take the longest and you can therefore least afford to lock out all reads.

We use Nutch and Lucene for our heavy duty text analysis jobs but I?m trying to use ferrret to do some experiments. I understood that Ferret used the same index format as lucene but I cannot look into a lucene index with ferret and cannot read a ferret index with luke (the lucene index browser). Am I doing somehting wrong or have the formats diverged? -------------- next part -------------- An

Hello, I am planning to build a bigger Internet platform and actually evaluating Java EE and Rails. I have a lot of Java experience and I am quite new to Rails. After playing some weeks with Rails I am sure that it is a mature web framework and I really like the productivtity of Rails. One of the key advantages is that new developers will understand this platform much quicker than all the Java
