Hello all. I would like to create a stable search for my database. The database consists of several articles catergorized by title, date, author, and subject. I would like to incoporate a search into my website that allows a user to enter in some text and be able to shift through article titles and contents and try to find suitable articles that match his or her search text. How can this be done in Ruby? What is the best method for doing it? Can anyone point out some good articles or tutorials that point out how to create a search? Thanks very much.

Josh, If you''re looking for MySQL search functionality in Rails, well, its built-in and available to your models. But if you''d like to use a third party solution that can do more than MySQL there are a other great solutions, such as Ferret with the acts_as_ferret (http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret) rails plugin or Solr with the acts_as_solr (http://acts-as-solr.rubyforge.org/) rails plugin. It really comes down to one thing: see what your requirements are and pick the best solution to fulfill it.

I was looking more on the lines of a MySQL FullText search, but if there are better solutions than I am more then willing to try them out. Can you make a suggestion as to what might be the best solution in my position? I''m looking at probably more than a thousand or so articles to shift through, so a fast search would be neccesary.

Hi Josh, you really should give a lucene inspired solution a try. This would be either ferret or solr. A main difference between these solutions is that you would need a java server like tomcat or jetty running the solr instance. You'll be able to run ferret without this requirement as it is a superfast c implementation of a fulltext index inspired by lucene indexes and has great ruby and rails bindings. Check out the already cited project site of acts_as_ferret. If you are already running a java server or are familiar with setting up one and maybe want to use your fulltext index from legal java proggies as well solr would be a perfect fit.

Thanks. > > Cheers, > JoshJosh, People have different opinions about the third party search alternatives and I hope I don''t create ''enemies'' by expressing mine. I''ve used Ferret with the acts_as_ferret plugin for about 6 months in the past and I loved it. At the beginning it was all working great but once I started having lots and lots of content activity - that being people searching and creating new ones at the same time - it started throwing "lock errors", so I started looking for new alternatives until I came across Solr and the acts_as_solr plugin. I tried it out and was amazed by how fast it was, not to mention the easiness of doing things with it. And the most important of all for me: no more errors. It can do reads/writes simultaneously like a breeze. Both Solr and the acts_as_solr are pretty new projects, but I do believe it will be adopted by lots of users in its course. So if interested here are the url''s: - Solr: http://lucene.apache.org/solr/ - acts_as_solr: http://acts-as-solr.rubyforge.org/ -- Jay -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

Do you simply supply the search text to the find_by_solr? I''m using it like so: article.rb: acts_as_solr :fields => [:title, :content] articles_controller.rb: def search @articles = Article.find_by_solr(params[:query]) end I am getting a nil value for @articles, is this because I am using it wrong or because it''s not returning any results? params[:query] is the search text that I provided via a form that looks like: <h1>Search</h1> <%= start_form_tag "/articles/search" %> <div> <%= text_field_tag :query, params[:desc], :class => "styled" %> <%= submit_tag "", :class => "button" %> </div> <%= end_form_tag %> Thanks.

Hey josh, do you have a jetty install of solr downloaded (or does this come with acts_as_solr - can't believe this)? Have you got java in your path? What is "java -version" on the command line giving you? First we need to know if you match the prerequisites. Especially java and solr up and running. Do things step by step! Get information on the solr site (google:solr) and maybe run their example before you integrate solr into ruby and rails by using acts_as_solr. I've tried it some time ago and had no problems either. But I'm coming from java land and ymmv.

You won''t need a video to get going, promised ;-) However it''s correct that there are known locking problems and index corruptions occuring when accessing the index with multiple processes under high load. To solve these problems, aaf now comes with a DRb-based server that will be the only process accessing the index - quite similar to solr''s approach. Plus you''ll only have to set this server up in your production environment, for development mode the usual direct index access is enough.
