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.

But now when I do something like this: count =

I may have run across a bug in Ferret: if throws a segmentation fault when I try to create a Sort object using the default fields (SCORE and DOC_ID), but setting reverse to true. Here''s the minimal example: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' Ferret::Search::Sort.new Ferret::Search::Sort.new( [

Hi, I''m using ferret and running into troubles with it seg faulting during searches. The index I''m searching is static and is only updated in an offline way once every couple weeks. The segfault isn''t deterministically reproducible, but if I hammer ferret hard enough I can reliably get it to crash. The problem seems to have something to do with how memory is shared

I''d like to implement the search capabilities of Ferret and am looking for sample code to see how it''s done. I''m thinking my controller creates the index when "Search" is clicked and a partial is rendered. What is this partial supposed to look like? Is it built in to rails/Ferret? Thanks for the help!

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

I''m trying to use the Ferret DRB server to avoid concurrency issues when using multiple mongrels.

Hi everybody! I am proud to present you a small project I have been working on for a while: Picolena, a documents search engine written in Rails. ( http://picolena.devjavu.com/ ). It obviously uses Ferret for indexing and searching, and adds some plain text extractors in order to index OOffice.org, pdf and MS Office documents (and some others as well). Everything is packed in a gem (gem install

Any idea how to fix it? thanx in advance

Hi everybody! I''d like to setup a "local google search" at work: - users would put data in shared directories on a samba server, without really caring about folder structure - ferret would index those directories every n hours - users could still get access to those data via samba - but in order to find them easily, some rails app would be used as a front-end to show the most

We''ve been monitoring the memory usage, and it rises very rapidly as the indexes are been loaded.
