My problem lies in having AAF search the target Model''s child tables. I have no problem at all doing something like: acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :update_collection, :member_name] def member_name return

Please help, I have followed the rails wiki to convert my rails application to use UTF-8: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToUseUnicodeStrings I am able to succesfully cut and paste Unicode characters from other page, successfully store and display unicode characters.

I have read the highlighting section at http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial#highlighting It mentions that for highlight to work I must have {:store => :yes}. However it also mentions that only "small" fields should be stored. My question is how small is small enough. I have a site where events information is maintained. I have events title and events

I've got an old HP Netbook, which is just fine for taking with when I'm travelling, to check email and news. I have a very old Ubuntu netbook-remix on it, and it really, *really* needs to be updated to something current. I, of course, would prefer CentOS.... The question is: I see that *if* the specs I just looked up (I'm at work, not home, where I could just turn it on, but they

Does anyone know how do you get acts_as_ferret to automagically update non-standard fields? I''ve followed Rails Envy''s tutorial (http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial#nonmodel) to get aaf working across different models. And once the index is built it searches fine.
