search for: excerpt_length

Hello list, As there is still some large file support bugs in the 0.11.4 release I had to download the trunk and apply a patch sent in by kyle http:// ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ticket/215. The problem is now that the highlighting doesn''t work. Somehow it combines excerpt_length with num_excerpts so if you have and excerpt_length of 50 and num_excerpts of 5 and you get only one hit when searching the excerpts is either the whole text or 50*5 = 250. So everytime you get a result with less hits than num_excerpts the highlighting goes crazy. Comments, Fixes, Patches...

Hello, I''m using Ferret trunk (#770) with Kyle''s large file support patch: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ticket/215 I''m having trouble with Ferret::Search::Searcher#highlight returning too much text around the query term. Regardless of what I set :excerpt_length to, highlight returns the entire contents of the field up to the first occurrence of the search term. Any suggestions? -Stuart

Can I make my database PK id to be the ferret document ID?? Would that speed it up? Cheers, Henrik
