Hello. I''m the author of DataMapper (http://datamapper.org), and am trying to choose what Full-Text-Indexing engine/plugin I want to include by default. I was hoping you guys could help. :-) Sphinx comes highly recommended, but without live index updates, it just doesn''t seem practical for most of my work. I''m most experienced with Solr, but the whole HTTP::Request and

Hi. We use FerretDrb for search. If the ferret process is down, our entire application comes down the moment we try to save a model which is indexed. Is there a way to decouple this relationship such that we can somehow resume normal operations despite ferret being down and not index the model? Thanks. Morten

Hi, I have a model that I''ve been indexing and searching with ferret some problem. We get the following error when accessing the model File Not Found Error occured at <except.c>:117 in xpop_context Error occured in fs_store.c:329 - fs_open_input tried to open "/var/www/html/cuproject/index/development/album/_b.cfs" but it doesn''t exist: <No such file or

Hi folks. If I am indexing ModelA and ModelB and I want to search both of them, I usually just pick one arbitrarily and use it for #multi_search. Is there a slicker pattern, regarding from which model to invoke #multi_search? Can it be invoked directly from the Ferret library? Has anyone put together some sort of "dummy" search class? Thanks for any ideas. John

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

Hi, I am trying to get sorting working. I have had success with numbers but when I try to sort my string fields nothing happens. I am using the following code: options = {} s = Search::SortField.new(''object_title'', :reverse => false) options[:sort] = s @index.search_each("my query",options) do |id, score| puts "-->Document #{id} found with a

I blogged about some of the problems with aaf in production (http://www.jroller.com/BrightCandle) yesterday but inspired by the poitive response I thought I would share the perceived problems and discuss some of the potential solutions to help newcomers and make aaf work as if by magic just like Rails does. All of these problems boil down to one simple problem, running acts as ferret in a

I am running version 3.2 of ferret and would like to upgrade to a more current version. will my existing 3.2 index files be compatible? thanks, AK -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I''ve been running some multithreaded tests on Ferret. Using a single Ferret::Index::Index inside a DRb server, it definitely behaves for me as if all readers are locked out of the index when writing is going on in that index, not just optimization -- at least when segment merging happens, which is when the writes take the longest and you can therefore least afford to lock out all reads.

I am new to ferret and am just reading about it in the O''reilly shortcuts as well as other web resources. My app is a Rails app and so I am looking into acts_as_ferret as well. There are some questions for which I couldn''t find answers in the material I have read so far so I''d appreciate any help on these from the list. A bit of a background. My app will have 10,000 -

Lucene has a syntax "foo bar"~10 for finding foo within 10 words of bar. Does ferret support this feature? (the ~ is used for fuzzy queries) Does rdig? This could be a deal breaker for me ''cos I really need proximity searches -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is it possible to have one main ''index'', perhaps on a shared network drive, and have lots of instances of rails accessing it (though obviously with one db)? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi folks! Does anyone have any example code for using a DRb Ferret server? No AAF. Dave - is yours ready? I know Jens has one, but I was hoping for something more stand-alone. I assume Jens has a lot of other code in there. Schnitz -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:

We use Nutch and Lucene for our heavy duty text analysis jobs but I?m trying to use ferrret to do some experiments. I understood that Ferret used the same index format as lucene but I cannot look into a lucene index with ferret and cannot read a ferret index with luke (the lucene index browser). Am I doing somehting wrong or have the formats diverged? -------------- next part -------------- An

Hi, I need to map words in a document back to there original word id''s in my database. For example, if I had the sentence "I eat food" and I was searching for "food" I would obviously get the document back as a result. For my particular problem I need to not only get the document id but also the id of the match. Suppose my original sentence was actually

Hi all, Im a newbie to ferret.I have installed the act_as_ferret gem and i actually want to search for some content in the model,but per user. My model has data,user_id.So within the data column i have to serach for a word if it exists for a given user.

Hello, I want to make a TAG CLOUD using ferret. How can i do so ? I would need to know the amount of keyword for every each words in the index. Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I have indexed a huge amount of data with text from several european languages. In the index are values like Georg Friedrich H?ndel. I would like a search phrase like "Georg Friedrich Handel" to find records with the real spelling of H?ndel but it doesn''t seem to work. Can anyone give me an idea of what I need to do to make this happen. A bit lost here and

Hi all, i have model A which has a field indexed from model B. model A belongs to model B. So whenever i insert a row in model ''A'', a query is fired to the field from model ''B'' even though the data was not changed for the field in model B. Can i somehow avoid these extra queries,or rather query the data and index it,only if the data has been changed>? e.g

In my environment.rb I say the following: MyModel.disable_ferret puts MyModel.ferret_enabled? The console works as expected: script/console false >> MyModel.ferret_enabled? => false I can then edit an instance, ferret remains disabled and the changes are not immediately indexed. However, when I start mongrel Ferret is initially disabled, but then somehow becomes enabled again
