similar to: Grouping results

Using Ferret for searching, I''ve got results that I need to link to. Which is fine, except for that they''re displayed on paginated pages using Rails paginate function - so it''s not like I can''t get it from the database or anything else. Anyone have any ideas on how to go about this? It''s not so much a coding problem as a theory problem, and I

The acts_as_ferret documentation says find_by_content returns an instance of SearchResults, but I see this error when I try to use the results. undefined method `total_hits'' for []:Array Here is the link to the documentation: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/rdoc/classes/FerretMixin/Acts/ARFerret/ClassMethods.html#M000010 But here is the actual code: result =

Hi, I am just getting started with Ferret, but I have a couple of questions. Any help is appreciated. 1) Will the current Ferret implementation only work on one server due to the index file? If it will work on multiple servers, could you point me towards some documentation? If not, are there plans to add support in the future? 2) This may not be Ferret-specific, but if I were implementing

The document describes search(query, options) sort: An array of SortFields describing how to sort the results. I have created index with two fields: ''file'' and ''content'' When I give SortField name as ''file'' while searching, it results into error. The exact command given by me: index.search_each("sleepless AND dreams", :num_docs

Hi, I have an index where each document contains an untokenized ''url'' field. I would like to query the index for the most popular urls. In SQL I would do this via a Group By clause. Is there anything in Ferret that will do something similar? I found this discussion that proposed a solution involving TermEnums:

Hi, I followed the howto to use keys for documents: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/HowTos#Howtousekeysfordocument If I add two documents with the same id, only one gets added to the index as expected. However, I have found the key and id do not match. So, attempting to access the index with the id does not work. For instance, when I run this search: INDEX.search_each(query) do

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

I am trying to use Ferret for searching for users based on first and last name. In my index, I am adding the first_name, last_name, and a full_name which is basically "#{first_name} #{last_name}". I am searching the index using something like the following query: INDEX.search_each(%Q/first_name:#{query}* OR last_name:#{query}* OR full_name:#{query}*/) do |doc, score| The problem I am

Hi Dave, I am using ferret at my site http://gifthat.com and I just had a few exceptions pop up. I don''t have a way to reproduce them, but my site just was listed on lifehacker.com and these issues have popped up under multiple concurrent users (only twice though which I think isn''t too bad). I am using two lighttpd instances both with read/write access to the index: 1) Error

I''m just wondering where I would put the pagination for search results when using "acts_as_ferret". At the moment my search code is.. def search @query = params[:query] || '''' unless @query.blank? @results = Tutorial.find_by_contents @query end end Cheers SchmakO -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have some code to rebuild my ferret indexes but occasionally some stale documents remain in the index even after rebuilding. The only way I could find around this is to manually delete the index files from the filesystem. Here is the code I have for rebuilding one of my indexes for Gifts: # delete existing entries INDEX.size.times {|i| INDEX.delete(i)} gifts =

I''m trying to use Ferret to do fuzzy searches. If I use fuzzy search for just one word, it works fine: index.search(''name:gogle~0.4'') However, if I try to use a phrase, it doesn''t work: index.search(''name:"gogle search engine"~0.4'') On the other hand, I could do: index.search(''name:gogle~0.4 AND

Hi, I am experiencing very poor performance when updating my index. For example, to update the index for 10 documents, it is taking 3 to 4 seconds. My index is currently very small... with probably less than 100 docs in it. I have created my index as follows: GIFT_INDEX = Index::Index.new(:path => "#{index_dir}/gift", :key => ''id'', :auto_flush => true)

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

I would like to give the 0.9.0 version of Ferret a try on my application hosted on TextDrive. I am currently running on the 0.3.2 version there. Does anyone have any tips on installing it locally there? I know just enough about Ruby gems to get by... but I am thinking it could be as easy as passing a -i flag to specify the install location for ferret. Then, the only thing I am not sure about

I am working my way through Agile web development with rails and I''m in the testing chapter. when I run the following test(or any other test) I''m new and not sure where to start looking. require ''test_helper'' class ProductTest < ActiveSupport::TestCase # Replace this with your real tests. test "the truth" do assert true end end I

Greetings! I''m having a hard time understanding the way Rails handles urls. I''m specifically having real trouble with the image_urls in the Depot app in the Agile Web Development book. If I enter "\image\file.png" in the Add Product page, the image is displayed in the other views and Properties shows http://localhost:3000/images/file.png If I leave off the leading

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

I am creating a blog to learn ruby on rails. from the layout page i pass all the posts as a collection to _archive.rhtml <%= render :partial => "archive", :collection => @archive %> On _archive.rhtml i have access to the collection. I am then gone to render partial another page _archivecount.rhtml to display the number of posts for each month. Can anyone give a clue

Hi everybody, I need to find out all terms (field values) from one of the fields from a set of documents returned by search. In other words, I have indexed documents with two fields. I do search on one field and then want to know all other field''s values from fount documents. How? -- Sergei Serdyuk Red Leaf Software LLC web: http://redleafsoft.com -- Posted via
