similar to: acts_as_ferret: dynamic index selection

Hi I''ve written ferret_helper.rb (FerretHelper module) containing wrapper methods for converting PDF, HTML, Open Document and Microsoft Word files to plain text for the Ferret index analysers. To help test it I wrote a simple ff.rb (Ferret Finder) command-line utility to index and search document files. You can download the code at http://www.methods.co.nz/ff/ Cheers, Stuart --

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 can''t figure out how to get acts_as_ferret to stop segfaulting. Every time i run a query on my server (rails 1.1.4 and ferret .9.4 and aaf from svn) I get a segfault ./script/../config/../vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/acts_as_ferret.rb:243: [BUG] Segmentation fault this line is where the indx is rebuilt. " def rebuild_index(*additional_models)

The included test script turned up the following anomolies (run against Ferret 0.10.3, but had same problems with 0.10.2): 1. When the content word is not in the index the inclusion of a wildcard file term causes search_each to throw a segmentation fault. $ ./test.rb zzz file:*.txt query: +content:zzz +file:*.txt ./test.rb:28: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24)

Hey gang, A post on the Rails forum a while back had it sound like you pretty much had to use the Index Readers & Writers if you were going to be potentially accessing an index from more than one process. (i.e. multiple dispatch.fcgi''s, etc) Is this still the case, or does the main Index class do that black magic behind the scenes? =) I was having trouble implementing the

Previously when I used to build index i used to get false in return. >> Event.rebuild_index => false Now I get this. >> Event.rebuild_index => {} Following changes took place. 1) I moved my app from FCGI to mongrel. 2) I moved my app to capistrano. Before moving to capistrano the code was acts_as_ferret :fields => [ "name", "desc_uf" ] Now the code

Upon opening an existing index after upgrading to the 0.9.2 ferret gem I get the following error: undefined symbol: mtde_create. Here''s an irb transcript which recreates the error: irb(main):011:0> index = Index::Index.new({:path => ''/home/srackham/bin/ff_index''}) => #<Ferret::Index::Index:0xb7be7590> irb(main):012:0>

Hi, There seems to be a straightforward bug in src/lib-storage/list/mailbox-list-fs.c:79. set->index_dir is unchecked prior to dereferencing (unlike on line 126 in the same file, where it is properly checked). This manifested on a FreeBSD server running dovecot 2.3.6 when clients tried to retrieve mail with subscriptions like `~/bar/baz`. This caused the `imap` child to crash, e.g.

Hi all, I cannot make aaf (rev. 220) use my custom analyzer, despite following the indications @ http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/AdvancedUsage To pinpoint the problem, I created a model + a simple analyzer with 2 stop words : "fax" and "gsm". test 1 : model.rebuild_index + model.find_by_contents("fax") # fax is a stop word. => I get a

The following instance methods seem to be missing from the Ferret::Document::Field class in Ferret 0.9.0 using compiled C extensions: #string_value, #reader_value and #binary_value. They are in the pure ruby implementation). I got round it by mixing in hacked versions of the pure Ruby methods (@data replaced by self.data). Many thanks for Ferret it''s shaping up to being a killer app

Hi I'm having a problem with the bcmxcp_usb driver FSD command: everything seems to work apart from: upsmon -c fsd Environment: Ubuntu 7.04, nut 2.0.5-1, nut-usb 2.0.5-1, Powerware 3105 UPS. upsd appears to send the FSD command to the UPS, upsmon then runs my NOTIFYCMD (which halts my PC) but the UPS just doesn't turn off.

Hi Stuart, sorry for the lag in answering, I know that you're awaiting feedback for the final release... 2010/10/19 Stuart Rackham > Hi Arnaud > > I successfully compiled all the docs in svn:// > svn.debian.org/nut/branches/AsciiDoc using the current AsciiDoc trunk, and > yes, the chunked manual only has a single toc.

In my environment.rb I say the following: MyModel.disable_ferret puts MyModel.ferret_enabled? The console works as expected: script/console false >> MyModel.ferret_enabled? => false I can then edit an instance, ferret remains disabled and the changes are not immediately indexed. However, when I start mongrel Ferret is initially disabled, but then somehow becomes enabled again

I''ve updated my ff document index/search utility so it now runs under Ferret 0.10.x. ff is a simple *NIX command-line utility that indexes and searches document files using Ferret, it can be found at http://www.methods.co.nz/ff/ Cheers, Stuart -- Stuart Rackham -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I want to install the Acts_as_ferret plugin so I tried "gem install ferret" and I get the following error: C:\InstantRails\rails_apps\eatnewcastle>gem install ferret Attempting local installation of ''ferret'' Local gem file not found: ferret*.gem Attempting remote installation of ''ferret'' Building native extensions. This could take a while...

Hi, I am experiencing very poor performance when updating my index. For example, to update the index for 10 documents, it is taking 3 to 4 seconds. My index is currently very small... with probably less than 100 docs in it. I have created my index as follows: GIFT_INDEX = Index::Index.new(:path => "#{index_dir}/gift", :key => ''id'', :auto_flush => true)

Hello all, I''m using AAF right now to index my ~3million db records. However, any additions to these records are added to the database through an external script so the aaf activerecord hooks will not catch any updates. Since new records are only added rarely, I figured I could just add the new records manually in ferret from some type of script. I''ve been looking at the

The Problem: The application is using the AAF plugin. When I attempt to rebuild the index on the production server from the console, I get the following error: ------ DRb::DRbConnError: druby://ferret.mydomain.com:9010 - #<Errno::ETIMEDOUT: Connection timed out - connect(2)> from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:736:in `open'' from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:729:in
