Hi, I just gave Mongrel a try on my Rails app. After running ''mongrel_rails start'' everything seems fine. Yet, when I start a request I get the following error message on the console: ERROR: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! The error occured while evaluating nil.readpartial That''s it. The application works fine with Webrick and

Here''s an interesting problem: In my app, we are indexing various types of documents, including microsoft powerpoint. Powerpoint documents are mostly binary, but have a bunch of text (all of the text in the document?) as well. My thinking is that the binary will never get searched for, and the proper text will be indexed and queried as expected, so the indexed binary will never

Hi! I thought I understood Ferret''s query scoring and how to tweak results using boost values. What I currently experience however, leaves me completely baffled. Perhaps someone can shed some light on the scoring algorithm, because asking Ferret to "explain" the score for a particular document isn''t as informative as I thought. Actually, it confuses me even

Hi! I wanted to build my own custom Analyzer like so: class Analyzer < Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer include Ferret::Analysis def initialize(stop_words = ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS) @stop_words = stop_words end def token_stream(field, string) StopFilter.new(LetterTokenizer.new(string, true), @stop_words) end end As one can easily spot, I essentially want

I''m getting some results that I don''t understand from a search. The code, based on the tutorial, and the results are below. Everything makes sense to me, except the results for the ''title:"Some"'' query. I would think that it should match the first two documents, but not the third. What am I missing here? Thanks for any help! --- code

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

Exactly - I tried to make aaf a bit more clever by letting it assume :limit

Hi - I''m currently investigating support for Ferret and content that spans multiple locales. I am particularly interested in using stemming and fuzzy searches (e.g. with slop factor) across multiple locales. So far I''ve followed the online docs for implementing a Stemming Analyzer, and it is working for English terms just fine. I''ve also written a method to import data

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). This works find however ''+state:OR'' returns nothing, though just ''portland'' will pull up matches within that state. I''m pretty sure it''s reading OR as an or conditional

Hi, I keep getting locking errors when updating my index which puzzles me since only one process is supposed to be accessing the index at a time (at least in development mode). I''m using Ferret with Rails (NOT acts_as_ferret, though) and employed an observer to add a new document to the index when a new ActiveRecord is created. I''m not sure if this has any impact on the

Greetings Samba Fans! I'm experiencing a strange problem which started after installation of Service Pack 2 for Windows XP: When a user tries to print there is a long delay (sometimes around 2 minutes) before the printer properties page is opened. This only affects Windows XP with Service Pack 2 installed. I did a 'tcpdump' on the printserver and observed something quite strange:

Hello, I''m a novice to ferret, so far only used it via acts_as_ferret. My question is about a recommended pattern for an ''advanced search'', which would be searching by all fields of a model and some fields from related models, with range search, expression search and wildcards. The kind of search in which a user is presented with a huge form that allows them to set

Ok, first up, I''m a Rails newbie. My site is hosted on godaddy.com Godaddy has the Ferret GEM installed by default. They do not have acts_as_ferret installed so I can''t use that. I''m trying to follow the tutorial on the Ferret wiki http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki It includes all of the code I need, but it doesn''t tell

Hi, I''m using Rails/AAF with Ferret 0.10.11, and my index occasionally (every few weeks, roughly) becomes corrupted. If the index is busted, until I rebuild it our users are unable to save anything. I get errors like the one below, and the save rolls back. My question is, is there any way to catch the error, and continue with the save even if the model isn''t indexed? What

Anyone ever run into this error message when creating a new FieldInfos? Ferret::Index::FieldInfos.new(:store=>:no) NoMethodError: undefined method `exists?'' for {:store=>:no}:Hash -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there from Germany, I just installed and set up ferret and act_as_ferret for rails. All of them at the most recent version. The development environment is running fine with Mac OS X. But I got problems with the productive environment (debian). In the (mysql-)database are few records stored, containig german umlauts (? for example). Running a query for "k?ln" returns the correct

Hi, I am using acts_as_ferret and have a problem with scoring. I would like to organize it in such way that, if any of the searched terms fits, I get 1.0 score as a result. I will explain it on the example. I have in index: a) "one two three four" b) "one two three" c) "one two" d) "one" When I search for "one" I would like to get 1.0 score for

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

Hi, in a production environment we are running into "MySQL server has gone away" errors (see below) when we call rebuild_index in aaf. This happens sporadically. Any suggestions for what might be wrong or workarounds? I guess we try a reconnect before we call rebuild_index?
