Ferret talk - Feb 2007 - Highlight raises Segmentation Fault Error in Ferret 0.10.9 i

Hi Everyone,

I am  currently in process of upgrading Ferret 0..9.1 to Ferret  0.10.9
with Ruby 1.8.4 in windows platform. I am trying to use search highlight
feature on index_searcher

    subject = index_searcher.highlight("subject:(blah blah)", 0,
                                 :field => :content,
                                 :pre_tag = "<span
class=''highlight''>",

   :post_tag = "</span>")

But all my tests fails and I run into Segmentation Fault Error.
Does anyone has come across this bug? I see couple of emails in this
forum but
I have not been able to find solutions. Can some one please help me and
tell me what is the correct implementation ?

-Amit

It looks like you are using IndexSearcher#highlight. The first
argument must be a Query object rather than a String. If you want to
use a String then you should use Index#highlight.

Hope that helps.
