If I disable ferret in my environment file and then run a cron job every hour to index the records that have been added/changed, do I enable Ferret just in the script that does the hourly indexing? Or do I somehow need to tell the process that runs the Ferret DRB server that it should start writing to the index again? Thanks in advance. Erik

We would like to show a list of "most recently added terms", meaning, the results of this query: Resource.aaf_index.ferret_index.reader.terms(:summary) BUT, only returning terms from a certain set of documents (in our case, we are going to filter by creation data). Is this possible? Thanks, John

Hi. We use FerretDrb for search. If the ferret process is down, our entire application comes down the moment we try to save a model which is indexed. Is there a way to decouple this relationship such that we can somehow resume normal operations despite ferret being down and not index the model? Thanks. Morten

Hi, I am just wondering if there''s a way to get all the words from an index. Basically, all the words that have been indexed (excluding the stopwords if I''m using the stopwords analyzer, etc.) The fields I''m putting in are not :stored in the index. The idea is to implement a "did you mean?" mecanism, which is based on the content of the index, not on a

I''m using acts_as_ferret and have indexed a model with acts_as_ferret :fields => [:name, :ascii_name, :alt_names], :single_index => true. Now in the index directory more than 95.000 files are generated! The number of tuples I''m indexing is approx. 86.000. I can''t remember this from earlier ferret/acts_as_ferret versions where I''ve indexed millions of

Hi I am trying to use ferret; the regular search works; but when I use the find_storage_by_contents to highlight the results, I am getting the above error. Please help thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''ve been having a problem getting highlighting to work with aaf. I have a class defined as follows such: class Link < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => { :description => { :store => :yes } } end I get back the correct results when I do Link.find_by_contents, however, I''d like to highlight them. If I do something like iterate through the list of

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

I need to reset the ferret index between test runs. It seems like there are a few ways to reset the ferret index. * Deleting the index directory -- is this really bad form? * calling rebuild_index * (any others?) What would y''all recommend? (Sorry, I''m from Texas) Preferably, I''d like a way to reset the index that I can integrate into a selenium test. -David

I am looking at trying to use ferret/aaf to supplement my querying against a medium and large table with lots of columns.

I''m not really sure if this is a bug, but it makes my search results look a bit strange. I have an acts_as_ferret declaration that looks like: acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true, :remote => true, :fields => { :ferret_name => { :store => :yes, :boost => 2 }, :ferret_content => { :store => :yes } } I store both fields so that I

I am experience situations where accessing the index results in a complete re-indexing of the model. I have not been able to detect a pattern. Under what circumstances does Ferret (or AAF) decide that it needs to rebuild the index? I''ll be happy to look at the code relevant to this if someone could direct me to it. Thanks, John

Hi everybody, After staring at the a_a_f API for quite sometime now, I decided it''s time to ask... Which method should I use to get content from the index without using highlight?
