Hello Everyone,
Just a short announcement that I released version 0.2.1 of Ruby/Odeum:
http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/ruby_odeum/
ABOUT
"Ruby/Odeum is a binding to the fantastic QDBM Odeum inverted index
library. Odeum is used in the Estraier search engine and is written by
the same author. It lets you easily construct a very fast inverted index
so you can search for documents by words really quickly. It is released
under the same license as QDBM (LGPL). The source includes the minimum
source from QDBM needed to use Odeum, so it will work right out of the
box."
CHANGES
* This release supports a RubyGem build:
http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/ruby_odeum/ruby_odeum-0.2.1.gem
Thanks go to Jeremy Hinegardner for writing up the gem build part of the
Rakefile for me.
* This release also fixes a bug in the Document.add_content method where
it would add empty words if they normalized to nothing. It now skips
any words which normalize to nothing.
NOTES
Please try out the gem and let me know if I''m doing this right.
It''s my
first gem package so I''m not sure how well it works coming off my site.
Please tell me if you think cross posting Ruby/Odeum to this list and
ruby-talk is wrong. I only post Ruby/Odeum here since I think search is
a general interest to web app developers.
Thanks!
Zed A. Shaw

Hi Zed, First of all: great job!! I''ve been wondering how to integrate this with the application I''m currently building in Rails. It''s basically a monster.com style application. So I have a Curriculum model with a load of associated models (experience, education, addresses, etc.). Searching through this model could be an SQL nightmare ;). If I''ve understood the documentation correctly I could: 1. Feed a Document a text representation of the curriculum (generated when the user modifies his CV). 3. I can associate the Document with a Curriculum by adding metadata (something like doc["curriculum_id"]) 3. This document would have to be stored in and Index. Here''s where my first real doubt surges: how does Odeum determine whether the document already exists in the index? Is it by the document.uri? I didn''t really understand the RDoc on Document.new (What''s an ODDOC? What''s a Qnil?) I think this "cross post" might solved me a big problem, so I''m quite happy with it. (this is my first post to this list, so don''t pay too much attention to me) Thanks, Ruairi Zed A.

I searched for some docs on it but my Google-fu is lacking. Zed

Zed, Thanks for this library, good full-text search is one of the missing puzzle pieces for more complex rails applications. Does Odeum support any search query language like lucene does? If so where can i read up on it? > Hello Everyone, > > Just a short announcement that I released version 0.2.1 of Ruby/Odeum: > > http://www.zedshaw.com/projects/ruby_odeum/ -- Tobi http://www.snowdevil.ca - Snowboards that don''t suck http://www.hieraki.org - Open source book authoring http://blog.leetsoft.com - Technical weblog
Just so folks know, I''ll be playing with using Odeum as another backend to my search_generator over the next week or so and seeing if it works out well. enjoy, -jeremy On Wed, Apr 20, 2005 at 11:33:15PM -0400, Tobias Luetke wrote:> Zed, > > Thanks for this library, good full-text search is one of the missing > puzzle pieces for more complex rails applications.
