Hi all This week I have worked with Rails and Ferret to test Ferrets (and Lucenes) capabilities. I decided to make a mixin for ActiveRecord as it seemed the simplest possible solution and I ended up making this into a plugin. For more info on Ferret see: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ The plugin is functional but could easily be refined. Anyway I want to share it with you. Regard it as a

Hello, I am trying to use the multi_search method, but I keep getting type error on nil objects, I send it [Model1,Model2] and it seems as though the class names keep getting clobbered and turn to nil, somewhere along the multi_index area. I tried to trace what was going on, but I got nothing, also, this only happens when there are actually hits(thank god, most of the time). Perhaps some insight?

I have a Topic that has_many comments. In the search results only want Topics to show up, but I want them to include the text of the comments that they have when they are indexed. To do this I''ve added a :comments_text field for acts_as_ferret and the comments_text method gathers the text from all comments up into a string that can be indexed. The trick is that when comments are added,

Hello, I''m using: Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 1.2.3, ferret 0.11.4, acts_as_ferret from svn stable. I''ve had quite a day wrestling with trying to remove the use of stopwords. The problem was that when searching for words like "no" or "the", no results were found. I found a confusing thing behavior that has taken me some time to figure out, and I hope sharing it

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, Im having problems using the multi_search command. I keep getting the following error. "undefined method `<<'' for Book:Class" here is the code associated with this. class Book < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true end class User < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true end and the call is the

I am trying to get multi_search to search across multiple models. I have the following: class Drug < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true end class Target < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true end and I am trying to query via: @drugs = Drug.multi_search(params[:query], [Target]) But I get no results. If I go: @drugs =

acts_as_ferret does not handle transaction aborts properly. If a model is modified but something latter causes the transaction it was wrapped in to abort, the ferret index will not revert to the original record data. I have included a klunky patch to defer modifying the ferret index until after the current transaction commits. It would seem prudent to resolve this issue, though I

According to the following link: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/QueryParser.html :handle_parser_errors => true is enabled by default and seems to be in acts_as_ferret in class_methods.rb of the plugin. However, when I pass a special character as a query (e.g., !, -, <, >, etc) it throws an error and pukes. -- snip -- Error occured in src/q_parser.y:279 - yyerror

Hi, I get this when searching or adding a new record. I am using today''s version of trunk and gem ferret 0.10.0 any ideas? thanks!

Disclaimer: ferret newbie here, don''t blame too hard. Hi, I''m trying to apply acts_as_ferret to apply search to my Person model: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :name, :surname acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ''name'', ''surname'' ] ... But when I try to save a new Person instance I get this error:

Hi, I''ve modified the latest acts_as_ferret code (version 0.3.0) to integrate with the Globalize (http://www.globalize-rails.org/globalize/) plugin. Essentially, I''ve added the ability to use a separate index per locale (It basically adds the language code as a suffix to the index and switches between indexes when the active locale changes). Since this introduces an optional

Hi, I have three models: Comatose::Page, Article and Product. In all of them, store_class_name is set to true. Now, when i do: results = Comatose::Page.multi_search("*", [Article,Product], options) I get: wrong constant name Comatose::Page #{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/class_methods.rb:438:in `const_get''

I am trying to use acts_as_ferret''s multi_search to search across multiple models, but i only want it to return one type of model. for example i have a page that lists out people. on this page it shows email addresses and phone numbers. I want to be able to search by any fields directly from the person model and search the fields from the email_address and phone_number models, but I only

I have the following models: class Book < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret belongs_to :author end class Author < ActiveRecord::Base has_many :books end and in the controller: def search if params[:query] @query = params[:query] @total, @books = Book.full_text_search(@query, :page => (params[:page]||1)) @pages =

Hello, Lets say you have a few models like Post, Article, Wiki, Comment, And you want to use ferret to search all of them at once. How would I set up the latest acts_as_ferret to accomplish this? And what would be fastest for searches? 1 index for all models, or have an index per model? Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi I use Ferret 0.11.4 and the latest stabel version of the acts_as_ferret plugin.

Hi, I just upgraded from acts_as_ferret 0.2/Ferret 0.9.x to acts_as_ferret 0.3/ferret .10.9, and i''m getting a strange behavior: searches are returning far too many results, most of them superflous. i''ll paste in my code below, it''s pretty simple. i''m googling like mad, and going through both the source and the forums, and having trouble finding what could

No, that search model is just a plain class that backs your search form. If you want to
