similar to: indexing a document object fails

I have found another crash in ferret; this one just uses a regular search. It''s similar to an issue reported by Matt Schnitz a while ago, but unlike his, mine does not go away if I turn off omit_norms. It does go away if I turn on the garbage collector more often, but I''m not sure that''s a stable workaround under the circumstances. This one isn''t a

Hi guys! Been reading this list for a while. I have two repeatable Ferret crash bugs, both seg faults. 1. The first bug appears to seg fault Ferret when you use quotes in a search argument (eg ''file_name:"file name"'') 2. The second bug appears to seg fault Ferret when you attempt to index text with very long tokens (above 256 chars). It may have something to do with

Hello ferret users, I have a problem with ferret dropping stored fields in the index. Not all fields I want to store get stored, so they can be searched, but can''t be retrieved in a search. Index creation: INDEX = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/home/gregor/wisa/index'', :analyzer => Analysis::WhiteSpaceAnalyzer.new) SR =

Hi, I have some questions about searching with Ferret. I have a user index with first_name, last_name and full_name (which is just first plus last with a space). Here are a couple of questions: 1) If I store the fields tokenized, it appears as though queries are case-insensitive. However, for untokenized, the query is case-sensitive. How can I make the untokenized searches case-insensitive?

Hi .. I tried to exclude certain objects from my search, by adding appropriate term queries .. i = Ferret::Index::Index.new i.field_infos.add_field(:type, :index => :untokenized, :term_vector => :no) i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Indiana" } i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Forrest" } i << {:type =>

I am indexing over 10,000 rows of data, it is very slow when it is indexing the 100,1000,10000 row, and now it is over 1 hour passed on the row 10,000. how to make it faster? here is my code: ================== doc = Document.new doc << Field.new("id", t.id, Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED) doc << Field.new("title", t.title,

Forgive me if this topic has already been discussed on the list. I googled but couldn''t find much. I''d like to search through text for US state abbreviations that are written in capitals. What is the best way to do this? I read somewhere that tokenized fields are stored in the index in lowercase, so I am concerned that I will lose precision. What is the best way to store a

I''m making a simple business directory search and I want to boost the relevance of the ''name'' field over the ''address'' field - both stored in the same document in the same index. Here is some console code to demonstrate what I am actually doing >> include Ferret::Document => Object >> doc = Document.new => Document { } >> doc

Gents, does this definition will allow me to search inside title, sub_title and url and sort by score, rank_sort, last_updated_at_sort ? acts_as_ferret :fields => { :title => {:boost => 2, :store => :yes}, :sub_title => {:store => :yes}, :url => {:store => :yes}, :rank_sort =>

Hey guys, I''ve just released Ferret 0.10.7. It is still in beta but we are getting closer and closer to a 1.0 release. The main changes in this release are better handling of fields by the QueryParser. You can now give the QueryParser a list of fields that are tokenized so that only those fields will be analyzed in the QueryParser. This means that you can search untokenized fields for

Hi. First of all I would like to say "thank you" to David for its really valuable work. Ferret is a great project and it have great future. Well now is my questions as beginner in Ferret. How to remove ALL documents from index. Remove files is not a solution. I am interesting in something like index.remove_index or something like this. What is a usual way of doing it?? What is the

Hi, following the discussion about acts_as_ferret on the Rails mailinglist, there was an issue about transactions, which could result in beind the database and ferret out of sync. I have taken a different approach from acts_as_ferret trying to resolve the transaction problem. Instead of adding things to the ferret index in the model, I have added it in the controller. I have only the create part

Hey guys, Now that the Lucy[1] project has Apache approval and is about to begin, the onus is no longer on Ferret to strive for Lucene compatability. (We''ll be doing that in Lucy). So I''m starting to think about ways to improve Ferret''s API. The first part that needs to be improved is the Document API. It''s annoying having to type all the attributes to

I am apart of a team that runs a student site called Studicious (http://stu.dicio.us). We have been using Ferret from the beginning, and recently added acts_as_ferret and sorting to the system. As you can see if you try the search, sorting is not working as expected. I am using this code (w/ find_by_content): :sort => Ferret::Search::SortField.new(:school_sort, :reverse => false)

I''m getting "uninitialized constant UNTOKENIZED" when I try to do something like the following: class Url < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => {''name'' => {}, ''description'' => {}, ''url'' => {:index => Ferret::Document::Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED},

Hello All, I am having an issue with AAF and sorting results of a search. Right now, I have results being split onto pages of 10. The results are being sorted alphabetically, but not across multiple pages - it''s just sorting the 10 it pulls down on each page. I noticed another post from April regarding this same issue (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/62993#66934) where the issue was

I have a lot of crashes when I try to use term vectors. Here''s an example, which crashes pretty consistently. This problem seems to be somewhat sensitive to platform... people on other OS''s and ruby versions have reported no error. I have seen this with ferret 0.10.13 and 0.10.14 on debian stable using ruby 1.8.2, but I have observed the same problem on various other systems as
