similar to: Fuzzy searching using act_as_ferret

Hi there, I''d like to be able to tune the results of a Fuzzy search in a rails application. I''ve tried setting the following in my environment.rb file. Ferret::Search::FuzzyQuery.default_min_similarity = 0.75 Ferret::Search::FuzzyQuery.default_prefix_length = 2 When I go into the console, I can see those values as the default but when I run a search like

Hi, I''ve got a question about FuzzyQueries. Say I''m doing a search for people by name, and I want to allow fuzzy results if there aren''t enough hits with a regular query. This is easy enough; just redo the search with the fuzzy query if original_results.total_hits is less than some threshold. However, I would like the exact-match results to have a higher score

I am seeing this in my ferret_server.log when I do a search: DRb server: ensure_index_exists for class Myclass1 DRb server: ensure_index_exists for class Myclass2 DRb server: ensure_index_exists for class Myclass3 DRb server: ensure_index_exists for class Myclass4 #method_missing(:id_multi_search, ["Myclass1", "test*", ["Myclass4", "Myclass3",

Hi all, I want to use acts_as_ferret''s multi_search to search two model classes (Reviewable and Blog) at a time like @results = Reviewable.multi_search("jemen", [Blog]) and I''m always getting the error You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.map

This may be offtopic to Rails, but what are people doing to find records based on fuzzy string matches? For example, if you wanted to find a Person with name "David Heinemeier Hansson" but searched using the string "Dave Hansson". Currently I am find_by_sql that calls the PostgreSQL function "levenshtein(string1, string2)" which returns results with a score

Hello, does anybody know how to implement a "Did you mean ...?" like Google with act_as_ferret? I think this is a possible way: 1. Generate a keyword-list (this is my difficulty. I don''t know how to build such a list from the index) with no stop-words from the first index. e. g. (car, ship, plant, house) 2. Build a second index from this word-list where we store the word in

Hello, I wonder if its possible to combine ferret queries with find_by_sql queries? Or should I try to rewrite my query using find and then use find_by_content when I''m done? Thanks for a great product! Regards, henrik

I want to correct spelling errors automatically. I have used search in the past where I can pass an argument through standard search to correct a word with up to 2 spelling errors for example or do the more Google like "Did ya mean?". In this case I just want to change it automatically and search. I am not too interested in specifying the number of characters it is out by. What is

Hi all, We''re attempting to use Ferret with the DRb server at the moment, and it doesn''t work, at all... = Executive Summary The DRb server process keeps on calling the remote index to the DRb server process... Which means DRb is calling itself, and itself, and itself, until Ruby kills the Thread with a SystemStackLevel error. = The excruciating details... # Mongrel is

Not sure how much this will interest people but I don''t have a blog so I''m posting something I threw together today cause I think it might be useful. In what little free time I have I''ve been wanting to put together a Rails/Ferret based restful dictionary. So I finally got a chance to get started today so the first thing I wanted to do was implement a metaphone

Hello. I''ve been trying to get multi_search to work and I simply can''t. I have two models: Post acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :body], :store_class_name => true Page acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :body], :store_class_name => true If I do @results = Post.find_by_contents(params[:q]) or @results = Page.find_by_contents(params[:q]) it works fine, but if I

Hello, I have been trying to set up the remote indexing for acts_as_ferret and followed the guide here: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer I added :remote => true to my models and then specified host and port for the production environment. After defining the host/port for production, I tried to run my development server and received the following error:

Hi, I have three models: Comatose::Page, Article and Product. In all of them, store_class_name is set to true.

Please forgive me if this is a silly question. I've been following this thread in the hope that I could put my * server and snom 200 into full-time service very soon.

Am I supposed to create multiple extensions on my asterisk dialplan to reflect the 5 call

OK. So it would appear that my quest for FXO adapters unconvers more, and certainly more mature, H.323 based devices...not so many SIP devices. What would be the benefits of SIP over H.323 for a small office * server? All I need to do is bring 4 POTS lines into * with Caller ID, make outgoing local calls reliably without undo echo. FWIW, my * server is Fedora Core 1 on AMD XP2500 with 512 MB
