I''ve problem with ferret (acts_as_ferret). search-engine and webserver are on the same machine. I use acts_as_ferret :field => ... to define which columns are indexed. I recreate the index with Search.rebuild_index (Search is my model). To find some results, I use Search.find_with_ferret("keyword", {}, {}). Sometimes, I merge conditions to this query in the last hash. I create an index over 7''000 records. For a while, the search is run correctly. Suddently, after perhaps 10 requests, I receive the error message below and the search doesn''t run anymore. Has someone a solution for this problem???? Thanks for helping!
