Hi all, the current acts_as_ferret trunk is now ported to Ferret 0.10. Get it while it''s hot at svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/plugin Nearly everything works, besides this: - all queries are ORed (no way to tell the QueryParser to build AND queries by default) - more_like_this is broken I''m working with Dave to fix these things soon. The last Ferret 0.9.x

We''re running Ferret and acts_as_ferret in our production environment. We have multiple mongrels talking to a single index on a separate (virtual) server over DRb. This is working ok for now, as our index updates are fairly infrequent. I''m concerned with the lack of rendundancy/scalability in this layout. Our index won''t get too big - maybe 100k indexed objects, each no

I''m fairly new to ferret / aaf and finding it much easier to use than HyperEstraier (which I migrated from). However, I am getting a few errors and I need to figure out if they''re problems with my usage of ferret or a bug I should report. I''m currently running Ferret 0.10.11 with acts_as_ferret (latest via svn external) and 3 times today I''ve seen the

hello, I am actually indexing thousands of 1ko text documents using ferret and acts_as_ferret, and i face performance problems. I takes me hours to index 20 000 1ko text documents. Methology used : I create and object, fulfill it with the text, and save it. So it is automaticly indexed. Is there a way to make it faster ? ( remove the auto optimize option somewhere ?) Thank you if you have any

Hey all, How can I search date with ferret? Do I need to submit them in a special format? Right now I have in my Item model: acts_as_ferret :fields => [:created_on] with eg created_on = Thu May 11 17:00:00 -0500 2006 now when I do Item.find_by_content("created_on:<#{Time.now}") I get nil, I''m probably doing something wrong. Any idea how to fix it? thanx in advance

Hi folks, just wanted to point you to an article about Ferret (and acts_as_ferret) in the current issue of the german iX magazine: http://www.heise.de/ix/inhalt.shtml Thanks to the authors Mathias and Ben from omdb.org :-) Cheers, Jens -- Jens Kr?mer http://www.jkraemer.net/ - Blog http://www.omdb.org/ - The new free film database

Hi, There is a problem with the way that acts_as_ferret verifies the index is valid. In ensure_index_exists it looks for a file named ''segments''. With the 0.11.0 release of ferret there is no file with this name. On my dummy application I have a ''segments.gen'' and ''segments_2y''. Changing the test to segments.gen fixes the problem that the

Hi all, I upgraded from Ferret 0.11.3 to Ferret 0.11.4 because I was getting intermittent segfaults that seemed to be due to a bug which was fixed (changeset 749). Unfortunately, 0.11.4 + acts_as_ferret seems to be a bad combination. I''m getting the some "fs_store/File Not Found Error occured at <except.c>:117" which was reported in the "Constant 0.11.4

I''m having an odd problem with Ferret 0.9.5 and acts_as_ferret 0.2.3, on RedHat Linux Enterprise 4. All of my find_by_contents calls return 0 results. When I try Foo.rebuild_index via the console, it returns nil. This is happening on my production machine, during deployment of my app. Everything works perfectly on my development machine (Windows). I have no idea where to start

Has anyone deployed ferret & act_as_ferret to a load balanced multiple server environment? If so, did you simply use a shared network index? I have a couple of ideas on how to deploy - but each have shortcomings and I''m hoping to find out if anyone else has deployed ferret in this manner. The application is simply load balanced between multiple servers running the same app for

Hi all, I''ve ran into a problem with Ferret on my rails app, and I don''t really have a clue about why. When running the unit tests, I get the following error output: > Exception raised: > Class: <NoMethodError> > Message: <"You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!\nThe > error occured while evaluating nil.version"> >

Hi there, after recently deploying my app, I have noticed that the search results are not being displayed... When I look in my app, I also notice that the apps content (search criterea) is not being indexed, so I dont have an index folder being created. I read on a google post that it may be that the ferret.yml server isn''t started (or perhaps the content of this file are not right) I

I''m running Ferret 0.9.5 on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4.7) under Locomotive 2.0.7. I have a problem where Ferret is hanging when I try to add items to the index. It doesn''t happen with every object that''s being indexed, and I''m not sure what the objects in question have in common (they are not all instances of the same ActiveRecord object). The process

acts_as_ferret does not handle transaction aborts properly. If a model is modified but something latter causes the transaction it was wrapped in to abort, the ferret index will not revert to the original record data. I have included a klunky patch to defer modifying the ferret index until after the current transaction commits. It would seem prudent to resolve this issue, though I

Hey, Has anyone managed to bypass or fix the ferret''s .dump method problem? When I include acts_as_ferret my whole rails app just blows up because of Ferret''s .dump method. Ex: --- print "\t hello".dump >> "\t hello">Exit code: 0 --- --- require ''ferret'' print "\t hello".dump >> " hello"(NUL

I''m switching all my fulltext searching over to ferret using the acts_as_ferret plugin on windows (for development, will be deployed on linux). In my tests I have a setup method as follows to ensure the index is reset for each test: def setup Item.rebuild_index end This works fine for the initial few tests but then suddenly fails for the last few tests when it seems to be
