...;'m posting something I threw together today cause I think it might be useful. In what little free time I have I''ve been wanting to put together a Rails/Ferret based restful dictionary. So I finally got a chance to get started today so the first thing I wanted to do was implement a metaphone analyzer and filter. Some links for more info on the metaphone algorithms: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metaphone http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double_Metaphone The jist of it is that it breaks words down into its phonetic parts. For example, the word ''cool'' and ''kewl&...

does anyone know if there is an implementation of the double metaphone algorithm available in ruby? google searching turns up very little of interest. if not, i''d be happy to port the jakarta commons version and make it available. cheers, paul

Hello! I'm Shubham Sharma, a 3rd year Information Systems student at BITS Pilani, and I'd like to explore the possibilities of a GSOC Project that would aim at improving the tolerant retrieval capabilities via *phonetic* correction(: misspellings that arise because the user types a query that sounds like the target term. ) I did find spelling correction via edit distance in

Hey Xapian guyz, This is my list set of ideas and overview of my analysis I have done on some other ideas I felt should be discussed. Please provide me some comments and suggestions to make it better before the application process starts.

Hello, does anybody know how to implement a "Did you mean ...?" like Google with act_as_ferret? I think this is a possible way: 1. Generate a keyword-list (this is my difficulty. I don''t know how to build such a list from the index) with no stop-words from the first index. e. g. (car, ship, plant, house) 2. Build a second index from this word-list where we store the word in

...er library. For example: - the stemming algorithms. - stopwording algorithms. - date parsing and term generation. - standard match deciders for doing things like value range restrictions, or sort comparison functions. - automatic language detection code. - fuzzy matching code (eg, metaphone implementations, trigram matching implementations). - spelling correction algorithms. I'm don't think we'd necessarily a new top-level module for this code; doing so would make the separation more obvious, but would require a bit more work than just fiddling with the build syst...

...ret plugin and was wondering if modifying the plugin to have a "ferret_query_parser" method would be better than trying to use Ferret directly from my app model. Also, wouldn''t this approach be necessary if I implement my own analyzer? I was thinking of possibly using the double metaphone algorithm and thinking that without the query parser to analyze the search string using my custom analyzer that I wouldn''t get any results. I hope that I haven''t missed something obvious in aaf''s api. On a side note, is there any recommended place to place custom analyz...

Please excuse me if this has been answered before. Is there a "how-to" guide or a walkthrough on integrating Lucene with ROR via XMLRPC? I got Ferret to work but I am worried that it''s not going to be as scalable. I highly appreciate your assistance. Thanks Frank --------------------------------- Relax. Yahoo! Mail virus
