Thanks to Dave and everyone who has contributed to ferret and acts_as_ferret! Man, can I not wait until I get this up and working on my project. Just the fuzzy search alone will be worth it. I''m having problems with rebuilding the index. My database includes Unicode entries, and I have configured the rest of Rails to correctly use it. On the initial index creation, I get this exception: : Error occured at :678 Error: exception 2 not handled: Error decoding input string. Check that you have the locale set correctly I tried the methods that Albert Delamednolls wrote about on his blog for Unicode and acts_as_rails but that failed for me. It seems like that might have been based on older versions of acts_as_rails but I just couldn''t make that work. I''ve got two levels of solution that I''m looking for. The best would be to figure out the errors and be able to index even when the content contains Unicode characters. As a workaround, if I could just trap the exception during indexing so that it would skip the problematic entries but index everything else, that would get me going. I tried to catch the exception in this line from rebuild_index: self.find(:all, :order=>"id" ).each { |content| index << content.to_doc } But even though I tried to rescue there, the exception still is thrown. Does anyone have any insight on this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
