I noticed that indexing seemed a little slow, so I tried reinstalling the 0.9.1 gem and noticed some errors while it was building the native extensions. Ferret still works with the pure ruby versions, but I''d love to take advantage of the c speed. I''m not real familiar with C, so I was wondering if anyone know what the errors are and if they can be fixed. Thanks -Lee ******

I cooked up a little script to show what I mean. This doesn''t look right to me, but maybe I just completely misunderstand QueryParser. Same output on mswin32, unix, ferret 0.9 and 0.10 Cheers, Sam require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' p Ferret::VERSION # 0.10.6 index = Ferret::Index::Index.new() index << {:title => "Programming

Hi Dave, The patch below corrects a buffer overflow bug in q_parser.y. Since it is triggered by excessively long query strings, I believe that this bug could be exploited to allow arbitrary code execution if a query string supplied by a user is passed in directly to Ferret and not truncatated. If I''m right, you should consider a new release asap. I''ve fixed it to simply

Hi all, Am having problems using RDig: With this rdig config... cfg.crawler.start_urls = [''http://www.defensetech.org''] cfg.crawler.include_hosts = [''www.defensetech.org''] cfg.index.path = ''/my/path/to/index'' cfg.verbose = true ...I get this output: $ rdig -c config/rdig_config.rb /usr/local/lib/site_ruby/1.8/ferret/index/term.rb:45:

Hi David, >> Otherwise I''m fully committed to getting 0.10 out. >> When it is out, I''d recommend getting it into your >> development app as soon as you can. Any idea of timeframe to a 0.10 alpha release? Kind Regards Neville

In the beginning 0.10.4 looked promising, but now that my index has grown to > 100 MB I''m getting segfaults on some searches again: >> Post.find_by_contents(''rubyforum'') # ok >> Post.find_by_contents(''ruby-forum'') /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.10.4/lib/ferret/index.rb:351: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24)

I''m not sure whether this is a bug or whether I''m simply expecting Ferret queries to work in a way other than they''re intended. I notice that if use a query like: (other_text:"Collaborative tools") AND NOT other_text:podcasts I''ll get correct search results. However, if I put parentheses around the second part, like:

I am trying to test drive ferret on a ubuntu dapper installation. I have a ferret-test.rb file like: ----begin--------- require ''ferret'' include Ferret index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/opt/search-index'') ----end----------- When i issue: ruby ferret-test.rb, I get: ferret-test.rb:1:in `require'': no such file to load -- ferret (LoadError)

I have an important segfault when I create the index (via Ferret::Index::FieldInfos#create_index). I decided to run the tests, this is what I have : $> ruby test_all.rb Loading once Loaded suite test_all Started ....................EEEEEEEE./unit/../unit/index/../../unit/store/../../unit/analysis/../../unit/utils/../../unit/query_parser/../../unit/search/tc_filter.rb:11: [BUG] Segmentation

Hi Everyone, I''m using Ferret 0.10.11 with acts_as_ferret from SVN (same results with 0.10.10 and 0.10.9 though). I''m running into an odd problem where the scores of my top-ranking search results are ridiculously small - even when the query is one that should match at least one document with a decent score. To give an example, I have just the names of 5 businesses indexed

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

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

During our last week of Ferret / aaf usage (also our first week of Ferret / aaf usage), I have received 8 messages stating that our app encountered a Ferret::QueryParser::QueryParseException. For instance: A Ferret::QueryParser::QueryParseException occurred in foo#search: Error occurred in src/q_parser.y:279 - yyerror couldn''t parse query "com -- 404". Error message

I''m getting the following on OS X (under locomotive) when running the tests for ferret. Is anybody else getting this error? rm -f ext/mem_pool.* rm -f ext/defines.h ** Execute test_units /Applications/Locomotive/Bundles/rmagickRailsJan2007_x86.locobundle/framework/bin/ruby -Ilib:test/unit

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 upgraded from 0.3.2 to 0.9.0, and now my old search code doesn''t work anymore. I get a lot of ArgumentErrors, for example: "query.add_clause(Search::BooleanClause.new(query_parser.parse(term), Search::BooleanClause::Occur::MUST))" raises: ArgumentError (wrong number of arguments (2 for 0)) "index_searcher.search_each(query)" raises: ArgumentError

Hi! First, thanks a LOT for ferret. The API and documentation is great. I''m trying to integrate ferret into a RoR app (DamageControl) and have run into a problem with locks. DamageControl consists of two processes that start up and run in parallel. The first one is the webapp (which is just a plain RoR app). The second is a daemon process that runs in the background. The daemon process

I have 0.11.3 installed When I try 0.11.6 or 0.11.5 I get the following output Building native extensions. This could take a while... ERROR: While executing gem ...

I am looking to have a number of categories populated from my results of a search. For example, searching on "sport" would display all results for sport. I want to also have a number of categories to refine the documents down. So by clicking on the "Fishing" category or the "Shooting" category, I would only see the results on sport around that category. Now for
