Dear list, I ''m using a text input field with autocompletion . The suggestions come from a ferret index which is created by getting all the terms belonging to other indices. Here is the code: class Suggestion attr_accessor :term def self.index(create) [Person, Project, Orgunit].each{|kl| terms = self.all_terms(kl) terms.each{|term| suggestion =

Hi there, Sorry if this has come up before, but I couldn''t see it obviously addressed anywhere. There are a few methods in IndexReader that raise NotImplementedErrors. I''m specifically interested in get_term_vector, but there are a number of others. Is there anything specific holding these back, or would patches to implement them be accepted? Thanks, -- Alex

Hi, >From looking at Ruby sources it seems that every update method deletes and reinserts documents. It makes sense if indexed fields are changed but what if it is not the case? It would speed up update a lot indexes did not have to be updated twice for nothing. Any quick way to do it? -- Sergei Serdyuk Red Leaf Software LLC web: http://redleafsoft.com -- Posted via

Hi, I''m building a web server application using Ferret [thanks so much Dave], Mongrel and Camping which works fine servicing one request at a time, but serialises searches if more than one request arrives, so I''d like some advice please about the best way to use multiple readers and one writer. Some background ... query requests which in my case are always read only, arrive via

I''m running from the trunk, and hitting road blocks no matter which way I attempt to search across multiple indexes. I tried a MultiSearcher, but I can''t pass a string for the search query ms.search "iraq" TypeError: wrong argument type String (expected Data) So I tried creating a QueryParser to pass, but I can''t get the fields from the reader

Hey .. I was thinking about the way I need to use the Ferret::Index::Index Class and its subclasses .. i find it somehow complex .. I think this can be done more easily .. Most of the Time a user needs to open up a index to do queries, the best way would be to use a IndexReader afaik. I would suggest to do it that way: index = Ferret::Index::Index.new( :path =>

Hey.. i am just browsing through the lucene features and i''m wondering if this feature is available in ferret as well .. # multiple-index searching with merged results this would be nice, as i''m thinking about several indexes, as i am using a lot of wildcard queries for livesearches like google suggest. i think the performance would increase, if i split my rather big index in

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

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, I''m trying to get parallelized ferret indexing working for my AAF indices, based on the example in the O''Reilly Ferret shortcut. However, the resulting indices after merging seem to have no actual documents. I went and made minimal changes to the example in the Ferret shortcut pdf, and indeed can''t get that to work either. I''d appreciate any help

Here''s what I''ve got: <% @fields.each do |field_name| %> <tr> <td> <%= field_name.humanize %> </td> <td> <% unless field_name =~ /_id$/ %> <%= form.text_field field_name, :size => 40 %> <% else %> <%= select(:vendor, field_name, State.find(:all, :order

I have a site with two indexes. Index A is created offline by RDig and queried from the web via RDig (specifically, RDig.searcher.search). Index B is managed by AAF with :remote => true. Simple enough. However, I need to query both indexes from RDig. Usually this is ok, as I modified RDig to accept an array of search_paths with an element for index A and index B. However, when Index

I need to access params[:field_name] from within my Model. @params[:field_name] isn''t working?

I need to get a set of terms being indexed using Ferret. I used IndexReader.terms and it returns a list of TermEnum nicely. The only problem is that my analyzer includes a stemming filter. So now, the terms I''m getting back are all stemmed. Is there anyway to get the original unstemmed terms back from the index somehow? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m building my first Filter and I''m running into an issue with Ferret::Index::IndexReader#term_docs. As I understand it, index_reader.term_docs should return a term-document enumerator for the entire index: index_reader.term_docs => empty set However, I''m getting an empty set. Interestingly enough, the following: index_reader.term_docs_for(:name,

I have a date where the year range is more then I want to define in a select_date scaffold generated year range. My idea was to have the year entered as a text field and the month and day using something like: <%= select_month @person.born,:prefix => :person ,:field_name => "born(2i)" %> <%= select_day @person.born,:prefix => :person , :field_name =>

Is there a decent way to add a field to a form before posting it? I haven''t tried using HPricot manipulations just yet, since I can''t ever find really solid docs on hpricot.... Form#[]= doesn''t work because it first searches only pre-existing fields. I''m investigating how to write a patch now. But I thought maybe someone here might have an idea.

Hi! First, thanks a LOT for ferret. The API and documentation is great. I''m trying to integrate ferret into a RoR app (DamageControl) and have run into a problem with locks. DamageControl consists of two processes that start up and run in parallel. The first one is the webapp (which is just a plain RoR app). The second is a daemon process that runs in the background. The daemon process

Hi, there. I need some help. Is there a way to count frequencies of terms in a document on Ferret? I know that Ferret has IndexReader#terms_docs_for method which counts all documents. I need to count frequencies of terms in a specific document. Some way?? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
