Hi guys, Is there some way of getting ferret matches string, when i do a fuzzy search? The scenario is this: 1. The user search for ''show'' 2. Nothing was found 3. So I do a fuzzy search, passing ''show~'' 4. It gives me somes results, most of all was matched with ''showcase'' 5. So I want to tell the user that: Nothing was found with ''show'', didn''t you mean ''showcase''? So, how do i get the ferret matches string, that was ''showcase'' in that scenario? Thanks in advance, Jos? Valim -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I''ve found out how to do that:
You have a class ''Class'' with acts_as_ferret, so do that:
queryObj = Class.aff_index.ferret_index.process_query(@query_string)
searchObj = Class.aaf_index.ferret_index.searcher
query_results = queryObj.terms(searchObj).collect! {|item| item[:text]
}.uniq
query_results.is_a?(Array) => true

You should add a method like ''matching_terms(query_string)'' to aaf''s LocalIndex class to encapsulate above code, so you can call it across the DRb connection. Cheers, Jens -- Jens Kr?mer webit!
