search for: full_english_stop_words

I''m trying to search a Model by the state field using Acts As Ferret. The query for this is ''+state:NY'' (substitute state abbreviation for NY).

I am seeing trouble with searches for ''you'' not returning anything. It appears that ''you'' is a stop word to the standard analyzer: require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' index = Ferret::I.new(:or_default => false) index << ''you'' puts index.search(''you'') returns

Hi, We''re using Ferret 0.9.4 and we''ve observed the following behavior. Searching for ''fieldname: foo and bar'' works fine while ''fieldname: "foo and bar"'' doesn''t return any results. Is there a way to make ferret recognize the ''and'' inside the query as a search term and not an operator? (I hope I got the

Hi, I just started using ferret and the aaf plugin and it seems to work quite nicely. However, my fields are very short (titles of music) and I don''t think may users will be typing in apostrophes when they are looking for something. Right now, for a simple document such as "what i''ve done" I''d like it to be indexed as "what ive done" instead. Right

Is there any somewhat standard way to remove or otherwise handle special or syntax characters from a user''s search, such as a colon? I was thinking maybe there was something akin to Ferret::Analysis::FULL_ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS, like Ferret::Analysis::FERRET_SYNTAX_CHARS, but no such luck. How are other folks dealing with filtering user input? John

Thanks for any help! --- code

Hi, I am trying to do a search for a field that contains the word "in" or "IN", but ferret doesn''t return me any result. class User < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => { :user => {:store => :no }, :len => {:store => :yes} } end ruby script/console >> User.find_by_contents(''Cal'') =>

...er (with acts_as_ferret + Ferret 0.11.1). HyphenFilter.new( StopFilter.new( LowerCaseFilter.new( MappingFilter.new( StandardTokenizer.new(str), mapping)), FULL_FRENCH_STOP_WORDS + FULL_ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS) ) The mapping filter maps pretty much all the french accents to the letter without the accent. So far so good. Only thing missing for what I want to do: I need to be able to make the words singular, and remove other patterns (j'', d'', l''). I thought...

I''m using the custom stem analyzer: require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret module Ferret::Analysis class FerretAnalyzer def initialize(stop_words = FULL_ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS) @stop_words = stop_words end def token_stream(field, text) StemFilter.new(StopFilter.new(LowerCaseFilter.new(StandardTokenizer.new(text)), @stop_words)) end end end and I''m simply setting the :analyzer option in AAF. However, I get odd behavior. The first search tha...
