similar to: How to compile on Windows?

I''m building a new index from scratch based on a number of documents stored in a database loaded using my Rails env (using Ruby Ferret 0.9x (installed today with Gem) on Windows). At first everything goes nice but after a number of documents it starts to go slower and slower until it grinds to a halt (at least feels like it). Am I doing something wrong? Is there some way to work

I have a Rails application where I need to search. Every time an update happens to something I need to update the index for the changed and related document. As I currently have to run on Windows (and therefore can''t use the native extension) it is quite slow to index sometimes and the user have to wait a couple of seconds for the save operation to return. A thought is to put this

Hi All, Hope all is going well. I''m having trouble with the following code creating an in memory index reader - it seems to be attempting to read from a file regardless. Here''s the simple code: require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' a = Ferret::Index::Index.new r = Ferret::Index::IndexReader.new(nil) Running the code on my OS X machine

Hi All, Hope all is going well. Was just wondering if anyone has implemented a grep style output page of hits using Ferret as the index/query engine? Any thoughts about how best to implement it? The previous thread discussess highlighting - would that be the best approach to follow or is there a better way? Cheers, Marcus -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is it possible with Ferret to find the location of the matches in a document? For example imagine I have 100 documents and I search with the phrase "bob~0.5" and that returns 3 matching documents. How can I then find all locations in a specific document where it matched "bob~0.5". What I need is something like an array that contains the start index and length for each

What would be the best way to publish a number of pages to static html pages? Just loop through them and create URL:s and fetch them with http or is there a better way? tia /Marcus

We have a scenario where we have a core engine with module add-ons. What modules that will be used differ from deployment to deployment. Each of these modules might need different things in the db (both structure and data) and I want each module to be in charge of its own db structure. Each module is contained in its own source directory and what modules to use is determined in the build

I''ve installed the latest version of Ferret (0.10.13) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (Tiger) and I''m developing using Locomotive2. I installed with: $ gem install ferret I have a ferret_test.rb file: ----begin--------- require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/opt/search-index'')

I have some files stored in db. When I try to download these I only get 65535 bytes from the database even if the file is a lot bigger. Is it a Rails setting I''ve missed or a database setting? Anything else? Using Rails 1.0, WinXP and MySQL4.1 /Marcus

I have a STI class tree. I want to set some default values (calculated values so I can''t set it in the database as defaults) on every created instance regardless of what subclass is actually instantiated. So I figured adding a after_create callback in the top class in the hierarchy should do the trick. It seems it doesn''t get called :( Code: class SuperClass <

Hey all, I''m back. Some of you are probably thinking that is the longest weeks vacation on record. Well, I''d like to take this opportunity to apologise for my absence and offer a brief explanation.

Hey .. maybe someone got a hint for me .. I''ve got a problem with the sorting of search results .. strangely enough, the sorting is fine on my mac development environment, but not okay on my linux live system. I got a field in my index called hierarchy. It contains long strings like: Living together > Family > Brother-In-Law Living together > Family > Marriage > Wife

Hi All, Hope all is going well. After being knocked out with the flu for a week I''ve been able to make some progress with porting the lucene highlighter to ferret.

Is Ferret''s SVN repository down? I''m trying to get the source from svn://davebalmain.com/ferret, but I keep getting "Connection Refused" errors. Did the URL change, or is Ferret''s repository really down? -- Bira http://compexplicita.wordpress.com http://compexplicita.tumblr.com
