Ferret talk - Sep 2007 - AAF and DRb with highlighting

How would I change this method in order to get highlighting working with
DRb? I''ve given up on searching on Google, I''m getting no
results that
are actually helpful.




def self.find_storage_by_contents(query, options = {})
    # Get the index that acts_as_ferret created for us
    index = self.aaf_index.ferret_index

    results = []

    default_options = {:limit => 10, :page => 1}
    options = default_options.merge options
    options[:offset] = options[:limit] * (options[:page].to_i - 1)

    # search_each is the core search function from Ferret, which
Acts_as_ferret hides
    total_hits = index.search_each(query, options) do |hit, score|
      doc = index[hit]
      result = {}

      article = Article.find(doc[:id])

      # Store each field in a hash which we can reference in our views
      result[:headline_highlight] = index.highlight(query, hit,
        :field => :headline,
        :pre_tag => "<strong>",
        :post_tag => "</strong>",
        :num_excerpts => 1)
      result[:body_highlight] = index.highlight(query, hit,
        :field => :body,
        :pre_tag => "<strong>",
        :post_tag => "</strong>",
        :num_excerpts => 1)
      result[:article] = article

      result[:score] = score

      results.push result
    end unless query.nil?
    return block_given? ? total_hits : [total_hits, results]
  end

Ok, I think I''ve actually got it working:



def self.find_storage_by_contents(query, options = {})
    results = []

    default_options = {:limit => 10, :page => 1}
    options = default_options.merge options
    options[:offset] = options[:limit] * (options[:page].to_i - 1)

    search = find_by_contents(query, options)
    total_hits = search.total_hits

    search.each do |hit|
      result = {}

      # Store each field in a hash which we can reference in our views
      result[:headline_highlight] = hit.highlight(query,
        :field => :headline,
        :pre_tag => "<strong>",
        :post_tag => "</strong>",
        :num_excerpts => 1)
      result[:body_highlight] = hit.highlight(query,
        :field => :body,
        :pre_tag => "<strong>",
        :post_tag => "</strong>",
        :num_excerpts => 1)
      result[:article] = hit

      results.push result
    end unless query.nil?

    return block_given? ? total_hits : [total_hits, results]
  end



Is there anything in there that I''m not doing correctly?
