Rails - Jan 2006 - [Q] acts_as_ferret : how to initialize index

Suppose I have an existing database and would like to use ferret.
What''s
an easy way to ferretize the existing data in a table?

Thanks

We took one of the acts_as_ferret implementations found at
http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/FerretOnRails and modified it
a little to fit our project''s needs.  Unfortunately, it looks like
davebalmain.com is down at the moment.

The implementations were posted and discussed in the following rails
thread: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/32709.  The
implementation in
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.ruby.rails/35112 is what we
started with.  It even has a simple rake task for rebuilding the
index.

So far it is working well for us.  Good luck.

time. :-)
