Hi, I have some questions about searching with Ferret. I have a user index with first_name, last_name and full_name (which is just first plus last with a space). Here are a couple of questions: 1) If I store the fields tokenized, it appears as though queries are case-insensitive. However, for untokenized, the query is case-sensitive. How can I make the untokenized searches case-insensitive?

I seem to be getting the same document multiple times in my search results. I''m wondering if this is because by default a document is placed in the search results every time the word you''re looking for shows up. Is that the way it works? Thanks, Carl

Forgive me if this topic has already been discussed on the list. I googled but couldn''t find much. I''d like to search through text for US state abbreviations that are written in capitals. What is the best way to do this? I read somewhere that tokenized fields are stored in the index in lowercase, so I am concerned that I will lose precision. What is the best way to store a

Hi .. I tried to exclude certain objects from my search, by adding appropriate term queries .. i = Ferret::Index::Index.new i.field_infos.add_field(:type, :index => :untokenized, :term_vector => :no) i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Indiana" } i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Forrest" } i << {:type =>

Hello, everyone! I was wondering if somebody has some insight on this issue.

Does anyone know where I might be able to download/purchase a database of US cities and their longitude/latitude coordinates? I''d like to provide a search option on a website that allows users to search by city but include cities in the surrounding area.

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

Hello Rails people, I submitted a patch recently to get rid of an annoying exception raised when an AR object is created - http://dev.rubyonrails.org/ticket/10556 , had some people review it, got some pluses... What am I supposed to do now? Can anybody advise or just review the patch and take care of the issue? Thanks! -- Best regards, Yuri Leikind

I just started using Ferret and I successfully indexed some documents. I can search this index using the following code: index = Index::Index.new(:path => path) index.search_each("something") do |doc, score| print "##{doc} #{index[doc][''url'']} - #{score}" print "\n" end However, when I try to use Search::Searcher and QueryParser

Hello, My dovecot constantly runs into this error. I want to fix this one last time, I am tired of troubleshooting so please someone give me a lasting and proper solution for this error. I think its a problem with the dovecot-solr module. Please tell me how do I find the root of this problem with Dovecot. There is a problem with the body search text field. It always fails(with no result), other

Up to now in my ferret development I have been using simple single-word strings as my search queries. I just now am trying to increase the complexity of my queries. When I was passing a single word with no spaces in my index searches, like so: count = index.search_each(''testing'') do |d, s| ... end everything worked fine. But now when I do something like this: count =

hey. I'm using the Search::Xapian interface version 0.9.2 (and xapian-core 0.9.2), and feeding the queryparser such things as "one AND NOT two" or "test NOT NOT really" makes it go "Aborted"... I've tried adding the exception handling from the other stubs to QueryParser.xs as well, but I still can't catch this error from perl. Does this mean

I am trying to build up a filtered search using the logic below. bq = Ferret::Search::BooleanQuery.new bq.add_query(Ferret::Search::TermQuery.new(Ferret::Index::Term.new("section",section.downcase!)), Ferret::Search::BooleanClause::Occur::MUST) filter = Ferret::Search::QueryFilter.new(bq) @vobjects = VoObject.find_by_contents(search_input,:filter => filter, :sort

Hi, I'm using Xapian in Python2. I'm trying to replicate an analysis that somebody else performed in Lucene. To do that I need to do a search for a multi-word query in which particular fields are boosted - preferably at query time. That is, given a query like "the cat is lying on the mat" (with an OR operator, ignoring word positions but with stemming and stop words removed),

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

I''m trying to generate a rails pagination helper for some ferret search results, and I need to know how many total matches there are to my search query. I don''t see an obvious way of finding this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Carl Youngblood

I tried adding a FULLTEXT search index to a table of mine in MySQL, only to discover that the InnoDB table format doesn''t seem to support this feature. Switching to the MyISAM table type seemed to work, but I seem to have some recollection that ActiveRecord transactions aren''t fully atomic on MyISAM tables. Is this true or am I just remembering wrong? If so, does anyone have

I assume there are several people on this list that have Cisco Call Manager implementations under their belt.... We are beginning a call manager implementation and the first question I asked Cisco was, should we use SIP or Skinny. Cisco is pushing me towards Skinny, saying that I will lose some functionality with SIP. They also say that most of their customers implement skinny. I see two
