Hello, I''ve been trying to make sorting in ferret case insensitive without any luck. I''ve been searching the mailing list, the docs and nothing. Apparently setting the type option for the sort to string should do it, but it doesn''t. Does anyone know how to achieve this? Thanks. -- Efr?n D?az http://www.efrendiaz.com

Hello all, I''m using AAF right now to index my ~3million db records. However, any additions to these records are added to the database through an external script so the aaf activerecord hooks will not catch any updates. Since new records are only added rarely, I figured I could just add the new records manually in ferret from some type of script. I''ve been looking at the

I''m having a bit a trouble getting some search terms to work with acts_as_ferret. Particulary where multiple words are in the query. For instance if I search for "Time to Kill" it doesn''t find the any records. However, if I search just for time, Time to Kill comes up. I''m not sure what I''m missing here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. --

I have ferret setup in my model with multiple fields, but when I do a search on the value that might be stored in two fields, I get no results. Here''s an example: "Jim 12333" Where Jim is a name field, and 12333 is a zip code. I have this in my model: acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ''name'', ''zip'' ] I''m not sure

Hi, we are using ferret and acts_as_ferret in a single server setup. We have 2 models that use acts_as_ferret. We are running into problems where a create or update of the models cause a ferret error Ferret::FileNotFoundError occured at <except.c>:117 in xpop_context Error occured in fs_store.c:329 - fs_open_input Where the file that needs to be opened isn''t there.

I would like to give the 0.9.0 version of Ferret a try on my application hosted on TextDrive. I am currently running on the 0.3.2 version there. Does anyone have any tips on installing it locally there? I know just enough about Ruby gems to get by... but I am thinking it could be as easy as passing a -i flag to specify the install location for ferret. Then, the only thing I am not sure about

Hey all, I''ve just released Ferret 0.10.3. It is mostly just a bugfix release. I''ve also added Ferret::Analysis::HyphenFilter which filters hyphenated words for better search results. Basically the way it works is it concatenates a hyphenated word as well as adding the two separate terms. So "set-up" becomes "setup", "set", "up" so

Hi! RDig is a small tool to build a Ferret index for the contents of a website or intranet. It contains a simple HTTP crawler and some support for extracting textual content from the fetched pages.

Hi, I was wondering if the latest version of acts_as_ferret (0.2.2) that is listed on http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/ is compatible with the latest version of Ferret 0.9.5.

I''m wondering if someone can point me in a direction to monitor the ferret drb server while using cacti. Is it possible to run multiple instances of ferret drb on the same machine, just on different ports? Will it still update the index properly, or will you get collision?
