similar to: doing a join between two ferret indexes?

Hello! I am trying to read Ferret index files from Windows machine on my Mac G5 Leopard machine, but the following returns nil: Ferret::Index::IndexReader.new( index_paths ) Should this work? Are index files guaranteed to be platform independent or not? Is there any problem if files (top direectory) are renamed? izidor P.S. I can create the index myself and then everything works.

Hello! Since Virtual Private Server seems to be the only way to run Rails apps without problems, so in the future I will need to become a Linux sysadmin. I plan on using debian (as per Ezra''s instructions in <http:// brainspl.at/pages/perfect_vps>). Rails VPS sysadmin is not the same as general Linux sysadmin, since only webserver, db and email are of interest (and of

Hello! First, thank you Julian for the useful plugin ''unicode_hacks'' < http://julik.textdriven.com/svn/tools/rails_plugins/unicode_hacks/>. I have found some problems running my app in development on Webrick and looking at it with Safari (MacOS X 10.4.3, Safari 2.0.2). Some files are sent with different sizes (e.g. default css example, or controls.js ), and it

I have a question about how Ferret handles intersection queries. Say I do an intersection search on two fields, so I do ''ruby author:(jared)'' (no quotes) Does Ferret do some kind of fancy index intersection to efficiently retrieve only items that meet both queries? Or does it just find all the ruby''s, then prune away everything that doesn''t match

Hi, i''m using capistrano to deploy the application, but every time i deploy it change all the directory, so i lost also the ferret''s indexes. Is it possible to keep them in order to prevent the reindex on each deploy? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Greetings. Apologies if I missed something like this in the archives or internet, but I''m having namespace issues using Ferret with Rails, but this looks to be an issue with any library and Rails. Specifically, I have a model class "Weight" in my application and Ferret also has a class "Weight" in it (Ferret::Search::Weight). My app runs perfectly fine until it first

We are using Ferret on our site answeru.com. Today all of a sudden we started getting Ferret errors while users were trying to register or log into the system. I am not a Ferret techie - I apologize if a similar problem has already been asked or if it is not really a Ferret issue. Any ideas: IO Error occured at <except.c>:79 in xraise Error occured in fs_store.c:324 - fs_open_input

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

Hello list, I just started using ferret and it really doesn''t go my way.

Dave and all, I run a medium RoR app using Ferret and acts_as_ferret. I get a lot of lock errors. Not always but around 5% of all searches (aspecially during peak periods). Here are the messages I get: A NameError occurred in szukaj#index: uninitialized constant Ferret::Index::Index::LockError [RAILS_ROOT]/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:478:in

Hi, I noticed a 0.11.3 release and gave it a whirl. I''ve so far not been able to reproduce any segfaults with my ferret_killer[1] script, though I do get some errors. when the searching process is running and I start the indexing process, I immediately get: /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.3/lib/ferret/index.rb:692:in `latest?'': File Not Found Error occured at

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. When I was passing a single word with no spaces in my index searches, like so: count = index.search_each(''testing'') do |d, s| ... end everything worked fine. But now when I do something like this: count =

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

Hey folks, ** Description ** Firstly for those who don''t know, Ferret is a full-text search library which makes adding search to your application a breeze. It''s much faster than MySQL full-text search as well most other search libraries out there. It allows you to do Boolean (+ruby + rails -jewelry) and phrase queries ("the quick brown fox") as well as some more

Hi guys! Been reading this list for a while. I have two repeatable Ferret crash bugs, both seg faults. 1. The first bug appears to seg fault Ferret when you use quotes in a search argument (eg ''file_name:"file name"'') 2. The second bug appears to seg fault Ferret when you attempt to index text with very long tokens (above 256 chars). It may have something to do with

Greetings. Apologies if I missed something like this in the archives or internet, but I''m having issues using Ferret with Rails. Specifically, I have a class class "Weight" in my application (it happens to be a model). My app runs perfectly fine until it first executes "require ''ferret''". At that point, my definition of the class "Weight"

Hi, following the discussion about acts_as_ferret on the Rails mailinglist, there was an issue about transactions, which could result in beind the database and ferret out of sync. I have taken a different approach from acts_as_ferret trying to resolve the transaction problem. Instead of adding things to the ferret index in the model, I have added it in the controller. I have only the create part
