Hi I''m using the acts_as_ferret to index one table in my database. The table contains formation about listed items and each of these items belongs to a section and a category.

Hi new version of ferret and acts as ferret have sorted out the scary glibc *** linked list pointer errors, thank god! New version are good but some searches are still not working.

Hi I''m using ferret happily on a site with 260ish documents in the index. Problem is that the site is still in development and I have to rebuild the index fairly regularly as new fields are added to it, like today when i added price.

It doesn''t throw any errors, it just doesn''t seem to write the image to disk. Nothing is printed to the lighttpd error log when the file upload fails. I thought it might be my code
