Hello, I am trying to escape words for searching i.e., "hello". The key here is that the two L''s on "hello" are actually vertical bars. Is there a special function in Ferret or anywhere for that matter that will do the escaping of the Ferret special characters? Thanks in advance, Benjamin

Hey ... I just tried to convert my code to 0.10 .. But i''m currently not sure how to use fields.. i really like some of the new api.. its leaner and i like the fact that these strange consts are gone (like Ferret::Search::BooleanClause::Occur::MUST) .. I see that you''re now having Ferret::Index::FieldInfo to describe the fields of the index.. thats good.. and i now see that

Hey guys, I''ve just released Ferret 0.10.7. It is still in beta but we are getting closer and closer to a 1.0 release. The main changes in this release are better handling of fields by the QueryParser. You can now give the QueryParser a list of fields that are tokenized so that only those fields will be analyzed in the QueryParser. This means that you can search untokenized fields for

I have ferret setup in my model with multiple fields, but when I do a search on the value that might be stored in two fields, I get no results. Here''s an example: "Jim 12333" Where Jim is a name field, and 12333 is a zip code. I have this in my model: acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ''name'', ''zip'' ] I''m not sure

I tried killing the server and my index

Hi all, So far as I know, while using acts_as_ferret, we should add the following declaration in the ActiveRecord model which is going to be indexed: acts_as_ferret({:fields => @@ferrect_fields}) in which @@ferrect_fields is a hash containing all the field to be indexed. This is pretty much for some simple situations. But I got a more complex situation that I want to define the fields to be

Hi. We use FerretDrb for search. If the ferret process is down, our entire application comes down the moment we try to save a model which is indexed. Is there a way to decouple this relationship such that we can somehow resume normal operations despite ferret being down and not index the model? Thanks. Morten

Hello, I''m a novice to ferret, so far only used it via acts_as_ferret. My question is about a recommended pattern for an ''advanced search'', which would be searching by all fields of a model and some fields from related models, with range search, expression search and wildcards. The kind of search in which a user is presented with a huge form that allows them to set

Hello All: This is potentially a ferret and ruby newbie question. I RTFM-ed (the oreilly shortcut anyway) and didnt find anything obvious. Are there plans for Ferret to support the notion of "payloads" introduced in Lucene 2.2. Payloads are basically arbitrary metadata that can be stored for each term. For example, for each term I can store, say, font information for the term. (

Hello, I am trying to get Ferret''s C indexer to work on OpenSUSE 10 and fastcgi. Indexing documents appears to work correctly but when I try to display the results I recieve the following error: ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `string_value'' for stored/uncompressed,indexed,tokenized,<title:Revit.jpg>:Ferret::Document::Field) on line #17 of
