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

I am unable to find results for models when one or more of the terms are not being indexed. Lets suppose I index a User on the phrase "Ruby on Rails." If I then search using User.find_by_contents("Ruby on Rails") I get no results, since "or" is a common term and does not get indexed. Of course, User.find_by_contents("Ruby Rails") works just fine. I

Hey .. I was thinking about the way I need to use the Ferret::Index::Index Class and its subclasses .. i find it somehow complex .. I think this can be done more easily .. Most of the Time a user needs to open up a index to do queries, the best way would be to use a IndexReader afaik. I would suggest to do it that way: index = Ferret::Index::Index.new( :path =>

Hi all, i have model A which has a field indexed from model B. model A belongs to model B. So whenever i insert a row in model ''A'', a query is fired to the field from model ''B'' even though the data was not changed for the field in model B. Can i somehow avoid these extra queries,or rather query the data and index it,only if the data has been changed>? e.g

I am new to ferret and am just reading about it in the O''reilly shortcuts as well as other web resources. My app is a Rails app and so I am looking into acts_as_ferret as well. There are some questions for which I couldn''t find answers in the material I have read so far so I''d appreciate any help on these from the list. A bit of a background. My app will have 10,000 -

Hey .. I''m using ferret to index various objects and i''m create a Ferret::Document for each of these objects. Indexing and searching is working fine. Each of these Ferret::Documents has a ''relevance'' field, storing an integer, how relevant this object is for the search. The ''relevance'' is in the range of 1..10 Now i would like to

Hi all, Google returns two results for this: http://www.google.ca/search?q=acts_as_ferret+shared_index+option&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:fr:official&client=firefox-a Both point to the ChangeLog, so I don''t really know if anybody used a shared index. From the RDoc, I know the option makes AAF "use a Ferret index that is shared by all classes..."

Hi .. I tried to build some query objects to get some documents from my index.. without success.. Is something wrong here? q = Ferret::Search::BooleanQuery.new q1 = Ferret::Search::TermQuery.new(:type, "movie") q2 = Ferret::Search::TermQuery.new(:name, "Indiana") q.add_query(q1, :should) q.add_query(q2, :should) Indexer.index.search_each(q) do |doc, score| puts doc end 0

Hi .. I tried to exclude certain objects from my search, by adding appropriate term queries .. i = Ferret::Index::Index.new i.field_infos.add_field(:type, :index => :untokenized, :term_vector => :no) i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Indiana" } i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Forrest" } i << {:type =>

Hello All: This is potentially a ferret and ruby newbie question. I RTFM-ed (the oreilly shortcut anyway) and didnt find anything obvious. Are there plans for Ferret to support the notion of "payloads" introduced in Lucene 2.2. Payloads are basically arbitrary metadata that can be stored for each term. For example, for each term I can store, say, font information for the term. (

Hi, I need to map words in a document back to there original word id''s in my database. For example, if I had the sentence "I eat food" and I was searching for "food" I would obviously get the document back as a result. For my particular problem I need to not only get the document id but also the id of the match. Suppose my original sentence was actually

Hi all, some days ago I wrote that I once had started porting Luke to Ferret with Ruby/Gtk. I just dug out those sources and put them under version control. It''s far from finished and my first Gtk program, but might be a good start anyway. the code is available at svn://projects.jkraemer.net/inspector/trunk/ If anybody wants to contribute, I''ll be glad to grant commit rights.

Hi, I am trying to get sorting working. I have had success with numbers but when I try to sort my string fields nothing happens. I am using the following code: options = {} s = Search::SortField.new(''object_title'', :reverse => false) options[:sort] = s @index.search_each("my query",options) do |id, score| puts "-->Document #{id} found with a

Hey .. The QueryParser RDoc page explains to me on how to search for a specific value in a specific field. This is not working the way i thought it should be, what am i doing wrong? Here''s an example .. I''m storing model data in the index like this: doc << Field.new( "object_id", object.id, Field::Store::YES) doc << Field.new( "type",

Hey all, I''m using acts_as_ferret and globalize. I stumbled upon that post on google: http://osdir.com/ml/lang.ruby.ferret.general/2007-01/msg00068.html does anybody know if it''s included in the latest a_a_f or if it''s planed to be? I can''t seem to find anything about it. thanx in advance Pat

Hi, I''ve discovered ferret and aaf this evening, I''ve just done some tests and it seems perfect for my needs. I''m indexing text data (title, description, etc) and also ethernet hardware addresses (MAC). Sorry if that sounds trivial but I can''t find the way to correctly index and achieve correct searches on MAC addresses. If I do something like this: index =
