Hi there, What''s the current status of the Windows port? I may be in a position to lend a hand over the next couple of weeks - where should I start looking? And what''s the best way to get SVN HEAD? This happens: $ svn checkout svn://www.davebalmain.com/ferret/trunk ferret svn: Can''t connect to host ''www.davebalmain.com'': Connection refused --

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__) +

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.

Hi all, Having problems trying to get Ferret to read an index generated by Lucene. Am I right in thinking Ferret should be able to read a Lucene generated index no problem? Using the code snippets detailed in http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/64099#new Any advice gratefully received. Many Thanks, Steven -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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,

Hi, I''m using the StandardAnalyzer to build an index, and passing in Documents that have Fields that contain large tokens (22+ characters) interpersed with normal English words. This seems to cause the IndexWriter to slow to a crawl. Is this a known issue, or am I doing something wrong? If this is a known issue I don''t have any problem just not indexing tokens longer than a

Recently I''ve been revisiting some of my search code. With a greater understanding of how Java Lucene implements its search methods, I realized that one level of abstraction is not present in the Ferret classes/methods. Here are the relevant method signatures: Ferret''s search methods: in Ferret::Index::Index: search(query, options = {}) -> returns a TopDocs

Hello, I am planning to build a bigger Internet platform and actually evaluating Java EE and Rails. I have a lot of Java experience and I am quite new to Rails. After playing some weeks with Rails I am sure that it is a mature web framework and I really like the productivtity of Rails. One of the key advantages is that new developers will understand this platform much quicker than all the Java

I''d like to use ferret to build an imap indexer and search utility, but want to check first to see if anyone else is working on this and offer my help. Anyone? Also, if you could provide any helpful pointers on indexing directories via ferret, it''ll be very much appreciated. I''m a lucene nuby. Thanks! John -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi again, I''m using ferret to index source code - DamageControl will allow users to search for text in source code. Currently I''m using the default index with no custom analyzer (I''m using the StandardAnalyzer). Do you have any recommendations about how to write an analyzer that will index source code in a more ''optimal'' way? I.e. disregard common

Hey folks, Some good news. I''ve finished cFerret and it''s ruby bindings to the point where I can run all of the unit tests. I still have to work out how I''m going to package and release it but it shouldn''t be long now. If you can''t wait you might like to try it from the subversion repository. It''ll probably only work on linux at the moment and

Hi List, I''ve took some time and made some tests on the performance of java-lucene, hyperestraier and ferret as Dave encourages the community of ferret to do so. Quite intersting numbers. Ferret indeed deserves to be called a high-performance port!! It''s MyFirstBenchmark ( http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/MyFirstBenchmark ) so please don''t be too cruel on

Hey all, After dabbling with ActiveSearch, we''re coming back around to take another look at Ferret. ActiveSearch slowed to a crawl after indexing about 20k documents, each 20 lines each. This time we may attempt to create multiple Ferret indexes (isolating each organization''s data individually), since we eventually could have upwards of 20k documents for some

The current full-text search will return the AND collection results,for example,if we use Article.search("aa bb"),then the articles that include "aa" and "bb" in the fields will be returned,how to return the articles that include "aa" OR "bb" effectly? A stumb method is to setup two queries respectly and collect them together with remove the

I am having some great trouble keeping my Ferret indexer for ActiveRecord working. First the get_field_names disappears (now back), then I am collectig some major trouble with locking. Same thing here: exception 6 not handled: Could not obtain write lock when trying to write index A snippet like this just deadlocks retrying endlessly: begin @ferret_index << doc

Hi, first of all: great work! I''d like to know which Lucene Version Ferret is based on, in other words: will I be able to read/write indexes created with current lucene trunk ?

Hi, Does anyone know why the indexes created by Ferret can''t be opened by Luke (http://www.getopt.org/luke/)? When I do development with Clucene I use Luke all the time to understand what is going on in the index. It is especially useful when trying to diagnose analyzer issues. When I try to open a Ferret index with Luke I get the message "Invalid or corrupted index". I

I am using ferret right now, and it works great for all my regular text documents/information. My problem arises when I want to index/search all of our assets (mostly pdf files). Currently, there is no way to READ pdfs from Ruby. Because of this I have to resort to using Java to read the PDF''s and then Lucene to index them. My problem here is a couple things. One, to index a asset I have

Hi Folks, I''ve just released version 0.9.0. This latest version of Ferret is an alpha release. I have removed the old c extension and Ferret is now running on a fully ported C library. This has allowed some huge performance improvements both with regard to memory and CPU usage. There will probably be a few portability issues to start with. It has been developed on Linux so it should
