Haloo. I''ve noticed some weird behaviour while trying ferret with rails *without* act_as_ferret plugin: when I start application under lighttpd proxying requests to spawned fcgi processes, I see this: : Error occured at :703 Error: exception 6 not handled: Could not obtain write lock when trying to write index The same time everything goes ok with webrick. Indexing part for the model

I would like to thank all the people who have contributed to this very fine project. Great work! I''ve encountered some strange results while examining the term frequency of one of my indexed documents. The indexed terms seem to vary for the very same document depending on the presence or absence of completely unrelated operations in the code, so the resulting term frequency changes, too.

Up to now in my ferret development I have been using simple single-word strings as my search queries. I just now am trying to increase the complexity of my queries. When I was passing a single word with no spaces in my index searches, like so: count = index.search_each(''testing'') do |d, s| ... end everything worked fine. But now when I do something like this: count =

Hi everyone, I''m pretty new to Lucene and Ferret, so I feel that this is most likely myself not completely understanding the correct way to do this. I haved indexed ~2200 text files (of various sizes), and I am now running searches on the index to get a feel for Lucene and Ferret. In my first program, which is using Lucene I search for ''influenza'' and get the

Hi, I''m using ferret and running into troubles with it seg faulting during searches. The index I''m searching is static and is only updated in an offline way once every couple weeks. The segfault isn''t deterministically reproducible, but if I hammer ferret hard enough I can reliably get it to crash. The problem seems to have something to do with how memory is shared

I''m using ferret 0.10.14 in Linux Fedora 3. When I do highlight with Index::Index#highlight, it works well. But, doing the same test with Searcher#highlight, [BUG] Segmentation fault occurred. Here''s my test code. require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret::Search #searcher = Ferret::Index::Index.new(:path =>

Hi Dave ( again ! ) I''ve been searching for a while into my extension code to understand what was the matter, and Florent Solt who hasn''t got my extension has the same problem, so it figured to be a ferret problem.. Unfortunately, we''re unable at the moment to reproduce it in a little code so you could debug easilier... I''m working on it. Heres the issue :

I may have run across a bug in Ferret: if throws a segmentation fault when I try to create a Sort object using the default fields (SCORE and DOC_ID), but setting reverse to true. Here''s the minimal example: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' Ferret::Search::Sort.new Ferret::Search::Sort.new( [

How can I index and search RoR model objects in a case insensitive manner? In Ferret there is the LowerCaseFilter (http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Analysis/LowerCaseFilter.html). How can I utilize it and other filters with acts_as_ferret? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m running from the trunk, and hitting road blocks no matter which way I attempt to search across multiple indexes. I tried a MultiSearcher, but I can''t pass a string for the search query ms.search "iraq" TypeError: wrong argument type String (expected Data) So I tried creating a QueryParser to pass, but I can''t get the fields from the reader

Hello, I''ve installed the Ferret gem and also got the act_as_ferret code from the wiki. I''ve set up my model "Branch" to act as ferret using the code below. acts_as_ferret :options => {:fields => [''name'', ''body_text'', ''address'']} I''ve also set up a ferret_controller with the code below def find

Hi all, I''ve recently started working with Ferret and I''m getting what seems to be slow searches. I have about 10000 documents in the index, with several fields per document, with some fields having an array of several values that are indexed. I am using a RAMDirectory to store the index for searching. When doing testing, I find that searches are reasonable at around .2 to

Hello, I am exploring acts_as_ferret, and the first question that pops to mind is scoping, i.e. how to restrict searches in various ways. For example, I have a Post model with title, content, and user_id as attributes, and I want users to be able to search through their own posts only. Normally, of course, I would do Post.find(:all, :conditions=>["user_id=?", current_user],

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

hi, i have a link called ''family doctor''. when the user presses the ''family doctor'' link, it goes through town''s DB and searches in which towns where there is a family doctor. after this is done, the view displays all the towns with the total number of ''family doctors'' in each town. next i want the user to select the town that

Hi everybody! I am proud to present you a small project I have been working on for a while: Picolena, a documents search engine written in Rails. ( http://picolena.devjavu.com/ ). It obviously uses Ferret for indexing and searching, and adds some plain text extractors in order to index OOffice.org, pdf and MS Office documents (and some others as well). Everything is packed in a gem (gem install

Hi list, I''m new to ferret and I wonder what is the best way to search if I know one fields id and want to search on its content. I have experimented with FilteredQuery but I don''t know if this is the best way. Eg. index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/tmp/all'') @dbh = Database.instance.connect result = @dbh.exec("SELECT pk_fulltext_id, fulltext_text
