similar to: Ferret-talk Digest, Vol 27, Issue 7

Hi all, there was a recent thread[1] on rails-deploy about Ferret in which a lot of people complained of problems using it in production. I''ve been using Ferret (with DRb) for many months now with no serious issues. I''m assuming the posters know what they''re doing so I''m guessing they''re just using Ferret in higher-scale environments than me. I

Thanks Stuart. I thought I had read somewhere that rebuild_index built the index in a different location and then swapped it, but after looking at the code (in local_index.rb) this doesn''t appear to be the case. That might explain why the ferret server crashes sometimes when a search takes place during a reindex. I wouldn''t be doing exactly the same thing as this but

I'm not an LDAP expert and I need an help to understand the following situation. I'm configuring a web LDAP addressbook (roundcube) against a Samba 4.4 DC to use simple binds over ldaps://. My troubles with Samba 4 DC start when the server response contains a referral with ldap:// URI scheme.  The client fails without messages to error logs. This does not happen against a Windows Server

Hi, I''m currently trying to set up a solution involving multiple servers using the same index over nfs. The problem is that from what I have seen, ferret doesn''t support multiple processes writing to the same index. Using a DRb service is not an option since this would create a single point of failure. I tried using Ferret::Store::FSDirectory to create a write lock on the the

I have installet the Ferret gem v. 0.11.6 and the latest acts_as_ferret plugin from svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret I''ve followed the instructions here http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer to set up the server, and put acts_as_ferret :remote => true on one of my models (Ad) I can also start the ferret_server, but when

Hi Obviously my question is, is that normal? To have so many files? I was indexing 6 string fields from 25000+ model records (all of the same model). The index appears to be working. I guess I was expecting a few hundred files after optimzing, not more files that records indexed. Please understand I am brand spanking new to Lucene, Ferret, and AaF. I was using acts_as_ferret with :fields

I''ve just installed acts_as_ferret, and am trying to build my index, but I''m getting the following error: >> r = Topic.find_by_contents(''testing'') StandardError: : Error occured at <analysis.c>:704 Error: exception 2 not handled: Error decoding input string. Check that you have the locale set correctly from

I am using aaf and things are working fine. I''m just curious to find out if the results are returned in the order of relevancy of the search term. I am thinking of getting the ids and further processing those ids and returning the result in a different order. Then it struck me what if the results are in the order of relevancy. Based on the answer to the question I''ll

Hi all, I just tagged acts_as_ferret 0.2.2 as the current stable version, so get it while it''s hot ;-) new features: - added support for the multiple models/single index approach. - find out the total number of search results by calling total_hits on the array returned by find_by_contents. fixes: - trac tickets #20 (find_by_contents breaks ferret sorting) and #24

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, just wanted to officially announce the release of acts_as_Ferret 0.3.0. As you see, I''m trying to catch up with Ferret''s version numbers ;-) svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/0.3.0/ or svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/ This release is now tagged stable, so in case anybody has used the old stable release via an svn external, please

Is there a mechanism or technique to allow me to boost document relevancy, independent of search terms? I do not necessarily want to do any of the sorts described here: http://xapian.org/docs/sorting.html#sorting-by-value. Rather I'd like to sort by something like relevancy*boost factor, like: http://lucene.apache.org/java/2_3_2/api/org/apache/lucene/document/Document.html#setBoost(float)

I was wondering if there was a good way to either balance the relevancy score with recentness of matching documents- or include the recentness in the score somehow? Thanks, Ben -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello guys, I have an weight value which is calculated by some factor and i need to add the weight with the relevancy value of a result and sort it with that value is that possible in xapian.

Hello, I tried to install the acts_as_ferret plugin: ruby script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret but I get the response svn: Can''t connect to host ''projects.jkraemer.net'': connection refused. Everything ok over there or do I need to use a different route? Thanks for your help! Jay Sanders -- Posted via

Hy folks, can anyone tell me if there definitely IS a problem with the acts_as_ferret plugin? It seems I can''t download it from its repository: Neither... a) ruby script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/plugin/acts_as_ferret ...nor... b) ruby script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret ...work for me

Hi guys (and gals?), We're using Xapian/Omega for indexing and searching forums. As forums are, the content that is relevant to a search is not just determined by the frequency or location of the terms; the date the topic has been last modified is important as well. Another issue we find is that the amount of results is so overwhelming, the user is unable to find the correct topic for his
