similar to: Fuzzy search on a phrase

Lucene has a syntax "foo bar"~10 for finding foo within 10 words of bar. Does ferret support this feature? (the ~ is used for fuzzy queries) Does rdig? This could be a deal breaker for me ''cos I really need proximity searches -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

Hi, I''ve discovered ferret and aaf this evening, I''ve just done some tests and it seems perfect for my needs. I''m indexing text data (title, description, etc) and also ethernet hardware addresses (MAC). Sorry if that sounds trivial but I can''t find the way to correctly index and achieve correct searches on MAC addresses. If I do something like this: index =

Hello, I have a large data frame that is organized by date in a peculiar way. I am seeking advice on how to transform the data into a format that is of more use to me. The data is organized as follows: STN_ID YEAR MM ELEM X1 X2 X3 X4 X5 X6 X7 1 2402594 1997 9 1 *-00233* *-00204* *-00119* -00190 -00251 -00243 -00249 2 2402594

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, I''m indexing records from different database tables and they have identical column names in many cases. Does this mean I have to create different indexes for each table? TIA, Vamsee.

I noticed that if I have a field that contains something like "Institute for medicine", that if I search using nay of these queries: for *for* for~ Nothing shows up. If I search for either of the other two words, though, that term would show up in the result set. Does this indicate that short words like "for" are not indexed? Thanks! Jen

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

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.

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

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

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/.

Is it safe to open the index to do searches on while another process is writing to the index? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve been running some multithreaded tests on Ferret. Using a single Ferret::Index::Index inside a DRb server, it definitely behaves for me as if all readers are locked out of the index when writing is going on in that index, not just optimization -- at least when segment merging happens, which is when the writes take the longest and you can therefore least afford to lock out all reads.

Hi all, Is there a way to have searches no use some indexed fields, when processing a query? context: I have a model Foo that holds some information in two languages : - text1_nl, text2_nl, text3_nl and - text1_en, text2_en, text3_en Some other fields are common to both languages and indexed as well - first_name, last_name Depending on the visitor language choice I need to exclude the

Please excuse me if this has been answered before. Is there a "how-to" guide or a walkthrough on integrating Lucene with ROR via XMLRPC?
