FYI, I tried installing ferret on my freebsd virtual server and got this: retango# gem install ferret --include-dependencies Attempting local installation of ''ferret'' Local gem file not found: ferret*.gem Attempting remote installation of ''ferret'' Updating Gem source index for: http://gems.rubyforge.org Building native extensions. This could take a while...

I''m noticing that ferret-write.lck sometimes stays in my index directory and throws exceptions whenever someone tries to do a search. Apparently there are some cases where ferret doesn''t realize that the file is old and can be deleted. I''m wondering what the best way to recover from this error is. Am I safe just writing a cron job that deletes this file if it is over

Hi Dave, I''ve been reading this post below back in December 2005. Is it possible to set :key to :id in cFerret like suggested below?

I''m trying to generate a rails pagination helper for some ferret search results, and I need to know how many total matches there are to my search query. I don''t see an obvious way of finding this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Carl Youngblood

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 =

I''m wondering if ferret has any built-in search/replace mechanism that I might be able to use to highlight the query data in each search result. The reason I think this would be a good idea is that I could end up having to practically duplicate the ferret query parser just to interpret the query so that I can figure out how to highlight the keywords in the search results. Just in case

Hi folks, This latest release of Ferret has a lot of improvements. There have been substantial improvements to performance. Try it for yourself to see. I won''t be publishing any numbers just yet. I will say though that it''s still about 2-4 times slower than Lucene with the extension installed. There is also some performance improvements in the pure Ruby version if you

Along with the contents of the documents in my index, I have stored the date they were added. I want to search for keywords in the index but have the results be sorted by their date rather than their relevance to the keywords. How would I do this in ferret? Thanks, Carl

Hey Dave, I understand you''ve been very busy lately, but I was really excited when you said before Christmas sometime that you were soon to release a fast C version of ferret. Is that still in the works? Do you have even a rough ETA? I have a rails site that would greatly benefit from it.

I''m noticing some long delays when optimizing my index. I know this is terribly inefficient, but in order to make sure that my ActiveRecord model is in sync with my index, I''m optimizing after every new record that I store, like so: class Resume < ActiveRecord::Base include Ferret has_and_belongs_to_many :users SEARCH_INDEX = File.dirname(__FILE__) +

I have a model class in rails that has a class variable that is a ferret index. For some reason, the methods in my class that refer to the class variable are getting lock conflicts. Can anybody see any obvious reason why? I notice that it keeps leaving a lock file in the index directory. I thought auto_flush was supposed to remove the lock automatically after every operation. Is there

I seem to be getting the same document multiple times in my search results. I''m wondering if this is because by default a document is placed in the search results every time the word you''re looking for shows up. Is that the way it works? Thanks, Carl

Hi all, I''ve ran into a problem with Ferret on my rails app, and I don''t really have a clue about why. When running the unit tests, I get the following error output: > Exception raised: > Class: <NoMethodError> > Message: <"You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!\nThe > error occured while evaluating nil.version"> >

Hello! I am having trouble with identifiers: %tmpFunction = load int ()** %puts_kernelPTR ... %tmpFunction = load int ()** %puts_kernelPTR generates Redefinition of value named 'tmpFunction' in the 'int () *' type plane! Is it not allowed to reuse variables? Is there some way to do it? Anders ---------------------------------------------------------------- Anders

I have an index in which I want different records to be accessible to different users. I think I can do this by adding a "users" field to each record in the index and narrow down my queries to only those records matching the current user''s userid. I have the userids separated by commas. What would be the right way to query for a certain user? I have to make sure that I
