Ferret talk - Jun 2007 - Sorting and getting occurrences of search in hit

Is there any way you could get the number of occurrences of the search
in one hit?

In a result I get the ferret_rank and ferret_score but not how many hits
the search generated in the current record.

I would also like to be able to sort after this when I search.

Doesn''t anyone have any input on this?

Do you mean the number of times the query occurs in a hit? There''s no
such function, and for non-trivial queries consisting of more than one
term - what number should it return? 

Here''s an example how you can retrieve how often a term occurs in a
specific field of a document:

I know that this may be a bit off but the feature I''m looking for is  
to be able to determine how often lets say a name occurs in the  
complete index of an object. By default we sort results  
chronologically - this due to the context of the project.

Thanks - i''ll look into the above.

look into things like...

YourModel.aaf_index.ferret_index.reader.terms(:your_field_name)

and other methods on the index reader:
