Hello list, I have a little weird error when deleting documents from the index. I''m using the following code. ferret_index = Ferret::Index::Index.new(:path => FERRET_INDEX_PATH) query = Ferret::Search::TermQuery.new(:fk_file_id, "#{_fk_file_id}") ferret_index.search_each(query) do | id | ferret_index.delete(id) end And I get the following error Cannot delete for id of type Array As I see it the only wa...

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/.

Hello everyone, I was stress-testing my application (running on Rails via FastCGI) by letting two concurrent users (not human .. an app called ''siege'') a) save an Article and b) search for all Articles. I am searching via Article.ferret_index.search_each( ..) do |doc_id,score| doc = index[doc_id] .. end and writing via Article.ferret_index << self.to_doc where Article.ferret_index is implemented as in ''act_as_ferret'': @@ferret_index = nil def Article::ferret_index @@ferret_index ||= Ferr...

Hi, I''m trying to use highlight ferret method with trunk aaf and 0.10.1 ferret. In my search display I use: Myindexedclass.ferret_index.searcher.highlight(@query, result_line.id, :content) * searcher is a protected method; how can I access to the searcher from aaf ? * is the doc id in aaf the same as my model id ? * is the first param, query, the string query or the query object ?

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, 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

...deployment issue, where an old instance of ferret drb was running. I don''t understand the details quite yet, but the result was the the old ferret was never shutdown during redeployment, and attempts were made to start up a new one. Anywho, I stumbled acroess the ferret_server.log and ferret_index.log, is it correctly understood, that ferret_server.log is basically the drb server output, while ferret_index.log is the index manager output? A bonus question, what''s the best way to determine that your application (using acts_as_ferret) is currently running against the drb server r...

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

Hi all, I''m trying to figure out how to add a filter into a search. I''ve created the filter, basically copying the location filter from http://blog.tourb.us/archives/ferret-and-location-based-searches. But when I try to call Index.search and pass the filter in a hash with the key :filter, I get back that it is expecting type Data, and so I''m at a loss to figure out

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

I have a sellable flag in my database. I''m trying to have ferret only add/update records where sellable == true. What is the best way to do this? I''ve tried editing instance_methods.rb in the AAF, but I still can''t get it to work. Thanks for the help -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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? Consider the following controller action: def preview if params[:search].blank? # normal case @text = @myfile. # which method do I use here to get the :text from the index??? else # if we come from

Hi, I have a model which has properties, these are your standard name/value pairs, but also have attributes that affect how I want to store them in ferret. I was using 0.9.5 with 0.2 of aaf, which seemed fine, I just copied and pasted (yes, I know, ick) the to_doc method and added code to iterate though the properties that that model had, and add relavent fields to the document. It seems
