Ferret talk - Apr 2007 - Lowercase

Hi,

Im useing acts_as_ferret and have a code like this:

class News < ActiveRecord::Base
  acts_as_ferret({:fields => { :normalized_text => {:store => :yes }}})
end

This should use the default analyzer with lowercase=true

If I do something like
News.find_by_contents(''Problem'')

it doesn''t find anything (though ''Problem'' is in the
text). I know the
query should lowercase this but it seems it doesn''t. This seems to be a
aaf problem, right? Or am I completely wrong?

BTW: has anyone encountered errors with ferret/aaf.highlight? It seems
it just chops the text of after x bytes but this looks ugly in unicode
if it splits a character.

Regards

Peter

This problem can occur if you don''t have the correct locale installed.
For example, if you are indexing UTF-8 data and your locale is set to
ISO-8859-1. Hope that helps.
