Hello, I''m using find_with_ferret to search multiple models and it works great. The trouble is I need to filter the results using :include and :conditions. I get two errors depending on the syntax I use in the search. Reading the source, I see the retrieve_records method seems to filter the :include and :conditions so that they only apply to the relevant model when searching

Hi, am using this wonderful plugin acts_as_ferret and according to the tutorial at http://railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as- ? rial#basic I worked it out except the pagination feature. If I have 12 records and I give limit to 10, its correctly displaying 10 records in the first page and is giving the link to the second page too. But when I go to the next page I find the same 10 records instead of

I''m sure I''m missing something completely obvious here, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction! I''ve implemented a basic search with AAF, which works as expected; I''m running a ferret drb server, and using will_paginate to page results.

Hi- Is it possible to use search parameters with will_paginate? For example, something like this: @var = Model.paginate :per_page => 20, :page => params[:page], :order => ''my_date DESC'', :conditions =>["my_date >= ? AND my_date <=?",@start,@end] I am getting some errors with this, but will this generally work?

Hi all, Best wishes for the new year! :'') I''m very new to Ruby and Rails, and I ran into a problem with the "paginate" function. When I use the following method to get a number of forum topics based on a category name passed via the URI: @topic_pages, @topics = paginate :topics, :joins => "INNER JOIN categories ON

Ahoy, I checked the API and did some forum searches but didn''t find anything good on table sorting. Is there a "railish" way to do this? My current method really is lacking (i''m on like rails day 2) <th><%= link_to ''Name'', :action => ''list'', :order => ''name'' %></th>

I have my list view filtering rows shown within the table <tr> tags like most of the introductory tutorials do. As I''m adding a few dozen entries I''m noticing the standard scaffolding pagination doesn''t pick up the number of rows from the filter since it is not being passed the number of rows returned within the scope of the filter statement. >From a

I''ve got Ultrasphinx powering the search on my Rails app. It''s working with all of my models when they''re first indexed, but then, after what seems like a random amount of time, I''ll get the following error on just *one* of my models: search#show (Ultrasphinx::UsageError) "Invalid class name \"Playlist \"" I set up this model like so:

Hi, Does any have experience scaling full text search in RoR? Right now our project is running a simple setup with ferret and acts_as_ferret. We are thinking about deploying a feature that would send 50x more search requests. So we probably have to rethink our solution. How do services like search.twitter.com (the former Summize) use? Or in what direction should I look? -- Thanks, M.

Hi Gurus, I''m trying to tackle a drop down list. I have category and item dbs, and they''re wired up with category has_many :items and item belongs_to :category, and an item has a category_id.

I was brainstorming today about a smooth way to define conditions in an sql query, when the numbers of attributes increase, so does the uglyness. So instead of passing a hash, I thought you could specify the conditions directly in code. I hacked together some example code which actually turned out to work. The result is concise and pretty beutiful. def search(params) Ad.find(:all) do
