search for: corter

I''m using acts_as_ferret to index one of my rails models. Right after I start the app the first request that orders by some ferret field will take very long. Subsequent ones seem to be fast. I guess some caching is going on. Any tips on solving this? Pedro.

I''m trying to sort by score but it seems like SortField::SortType::SCORE is 0 instead of a SortType. A test case is attached. Without the C extensions the test passes, so I guess it''s a bug in them. Should I be using it without the extensions? Because if that''s the case I have some other bugs to report.

I tried sorting the search results in Ferret::Index::Index#search and what I found was that the sort is applied not to the whole search but to the returned results. Suppose I have these results: Text - Num foo - 2 bar - 3 far - 4 boo - 1 If I limit the search to the first two and sort by num I get: foo - 2 bar - 3 while I think the natural behaviour would be: boo - 1 foo - 2 Is this

I run a script that imports a few thousand records into the database. The script runs once for each of several XML files. What it does is parse the XML and for each element of a certain type creates a record in a rails database that gets indexed with acts_as_ferret. This worked fine before but today after a few files (70000 records) this started to happen for any file I tried:

Today while compiling ferret I noticed there was a Portuguese stemmer being compiled. How do I enable it''s use for my index? Pedro.

The docs for Sort.new say: reverse: pass true if you want the sort order to be reversed. Only works if you pass the field names. Does this mean it''s not possible to do a reverse sort by score? If it is it seems to be broken as I don''t seem to be able to reverse the order of the sort. I''ll write a test case if this is not a known problem. Greetings, Pedro.

I created this analyzer: class DescriptionAnalyzer < Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer def token_stream(field, string) if field == "code" return CodeTokenStream.new(string) else return Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer.new.token_stream(field,string) end end end and created an IndexWriter with it: Ferret::Index::IndexWriter.new(get_index_path,

How do I use a model that has "acts_as_ferret" defined outside rails? I''ve tried adding this to the top of my model: require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/acts_as_ferret.rb" and then defining RAILS_ROOT and RAILS_ENV in my app that uses the model outside rails. That got me this exception:

I''d like to be able to enable/disable the automatic indexing of documents acts_as_ferret does. Something like MyModel.disable_indexing MyModel.enable_indexing would be perfect. I need this because I do some indexing that requires visiting the parents of the model objects and my import method imports the children first, so the information isn''t there yet. I''d like to
