Hi guys, Having committed a fairly large project to ferret I''m a little concerned that ferret svn has been essentially unavailable for weeks (pretty much every time I try I get "can''t connect") and more so now that davebalmain.com has gone off the air. Without meaning to pry, does anyone know whether existing problems in ferret are likely to get fixed? (I can get crashes quite easily with a combination of highlighting and proximity searches over longish distances) and whether, or if, there will be another release? -- P...

...start with. It has been developed on Linux so it should work fine there. Windows and Mac users beware. Also, the current version doesn''t allow you to extend Ferret. For example, you can''t write your own analyzer or filter. This will be rectified in the near future. http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ Dave Balmain == Description Ferret is a full port of the Apache Lucene searching and indexing library. It''s available as a gem so try it out! To get started quickly read the quick start at the project homepage; http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api http://ferret.davebalmain.com/a...

Hi Dave, I''ve been getting some segment faults while running my tests using 0.10.14 gem so I decided to package the gem locally to add -dH and generate core dumps for you. So I followed instructions here http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/DownloadCurrent and first off ran the tests. I''m getting the following failures. (see this pastie http://pastie.caboo.se/34790). I don''t suppose these are expected but I thought I may as well let you know. Regards, Saimon -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com...

I''m getting an exception when I query a large index (4GB, ~700K docs) on a particular field. For example: supplier_id:77490 IO Error occured at <except.c>:93 in xraise (IOError) Error occured in fs_store.c:293 - fsi_seek_i seeking pos -1515676213: <Invalid argument> Anecdotally it seems to happen for supplier_ids > 76900. Here is the field info for that

...;ve been trying out ferret 0.9.3 on my powerbook this weekend and I''ve been triggering ''bus errors'' when using the Query API. If I programmatically build up strings, it works just fine. There''s some more information available in the trac ticket http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ticket/62 Is anyone successfully using the Query API on mac os x? Anything I can do to help debug this? -- Cheers Koz -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The ferret webpage at http://ferret.davebalmain.com/ has been down for a number of days. Any idea what''s going on? or how to notify the webmaster? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there a fast way to determine how many documents a term occurs in, besides iterating through every document with TermDocEnum? -- Best regards, Stian Gryt?yr

...ebuild_index, it fails randomly (works most of the time, but I''m sure some documents are not well indexed). It fails with messages like this one: failed adding 140823996. r_analysis.c:432 Thanks for any help.

Hi, I just checked out ferret 0.10.14 from subversion and am getting intermittent failures from the thread_safety_index_test.rb script. Sometimes it runs through to the end with no errors, but other times I get errors, including segfaults. I reported the bug here: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ticket/153 Can anyone else reproduce this? svn co svn://davebalmain.com/ferret/tags/REL-0.10.14/ ferret-0.10.14 cd ferret-0.10.14 rake ext ruby test/functional/thread_safety_index_test.rb You''ll need to run it a few times though (just the last line). Sometimes it returns succes...

I need to get a set of terms being indexed using Ferret. I used IndexReader.terms and it returns a list of TermEnum nicely. The only problem is that my analyzer includes a stemming filter. So now, the terms I''m getting back are all stemmed. Is there anyway to get the original unstemmed terms back from the index somehow? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, I can''t seem to find a way to create a new ticket.

Hi, Using aaf to search pages, I wanted to present excerpts from the texts even when more than one term was used in the search. I came to some results, despite the difficulty caused by Unicode+ruby. The last problem I''m faced is to get the query words, without the logical articulation chars if any. Is there a clean way to get them ? -- Jean-Christophe Michel

Hi, I''ve listened in to this mail list for quite a while now but not doing anything with Ferret until I was ready to incorporate it. I''ve used Lucene for years, but not Ferret. I downloaded and installed the ''bleeding edge'' version (lets call it 0.10.9.1). There appears to be a significant re-working of the API happening. It all looks good. But there

Is Ferret''s SVN repository down? I''m trying to get the source from svn://davebalmain.com/ferret, but I keep getting "Connection Refused" errors. Did the URL change, or is Ferret''s repository really down? -- Bira http://compexplicita.wordpress.com http://compexplicita.tumblr.com
