since i cant manage to get the accelerated ferret going (amd64 incompatible C code) and hyperestraier returns 0 results for everything after a reboot (despite claiming its index is every bit as big as before) i made a simple rails inverted index that essentially just does a find_or_create_by_word for each word, and then adds its id to a join table linking words and documents.. the only

I''m at a point where I''d like to start adding search capability to my app, so I thought I''d ask: Anyone have any recommendations for a good Rails search library/plugin/etc? There seem to be quite a few different ones out there, but I don''t have much context on any of them. What is the difference between using Ferret, or a SearchGenerator, SimpleSearch,

Hi List, I''ve took some time and made some tests on the performance of java-lucene, hyperestraier and ferret as Dave encourages the community of ferret to do so. Quite intersting numbers. Ferret indeed deserves to be called a high-performance port!! It''s MyFirstBenchmark ( http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/MyFirstBenchmark ) so please don''t be too cruel on

Hey folks, Some good news. I''ve finished cFerret and it''s ruby bindings to the point where I can run all of the unit tests. I still have to work out how I''m going to package and release it but it shouldn''t be long now. If you can''t wait you might like to try it from the subversion repository. It''ll probably only work on linux at the moment and

I''m building a new index from scratch based on a number of documents stored in a database loaded using my Rails env (using Ruby Ferret 0.9x (installed today with Gem) on Windows). At first everything goes nice but after a number of documents it starts to go slower and slower until it grinds to a halt (at least feels like it). Am I doing something wrong? Is there some way to work

http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToIntegrateFerretWithRails I followed everything here but at the last I get when loading page get_results Can only handle a String or a Query.

I have found very little information about this problem on the net, so i thought someone here might be able to help me. I am running mac os x 10.4 on a powerbook and have installed ruby 1.8.6 and was trying to get ferret to work, without any success. Here is exactly what i did and what happened: $ sudo gem install ferret Updating metadata for 125 gems from http://gems.rubyforge.org

Hello list, I know this is a little OT but I wonder how I would go about using cFerret directly through C/C++ for indexing. Right now I do index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/path/to/index'') index << {:title => "Programming Ruby", :content => "blah blah blah"} How would I do this in C/C++ against cFerret? Thanks! //Henrik

Hey all, After dabbling with ActiveSearch, we''re coming back around to take another look at Ferret. ActiveSearch slowed to a crawl after indexing about 20k documents, each 20 lines each. This time we may attempt to create multiple Ferret indexes (isolating each organization''s data individually), since we eventually could have upwards of 20k documents for some

I''ve installed the latest version of Ferret (0.10.13) on Mac OS X 10.4.8 (Tiger) and I''m developing using Locomotive2. I installed with: $ gem install ferret I have a ferret_test.rb file: ----begin--------- require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/opt/search-index'')

I''m trying to generate a rails pagination helper for some ferret search results, and I need to know how many total matches there are to my search query. I don''t see an obvious way of finding this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Carl Youngblood

I''m noticing some long delays when optimizing my index. I know this is terribly inefficient, but in order to make sure that my ActiveRecord model is in sync with my index, I''m optimizing after every new record that I store, like so: class Resume < ActiveRecord::Base include Ferret has_and_belongs_to_many :users SEARCH_INDEX = File.dirname(__FILE__) +

Hi Dave, I''ve been reading this post below back in December 2005. Is it possible to set :key to :id in cFerret like suggested below?

Hi David again. I would say that Ferret works great with Rails. And now I am trying to create pagination. Because site could have millions of documents I need to create on page link something like "Page #100". Rather usual situation. But to create this links I need to know how many documents Ferret found in index. For now I am doing it with following code index =

Hi, the last couple of days I''m trying to index some txt files. Once indexed I have the habit of checking the contents of the Ferret index with Luke. But everytime I tried to open the index I got a ''read past EOF'' error. I managed to get it down to the way Ferret handles non-ascii characters. I have one txt file with the following content ''a o b c''

This is my first rails app with a legacy database and I''m having a terrible time getting the models set up correctly. I have an order table that has a primary field named order_number. I have a name table with a primary of item_number. These two tables are liked by the item_number and the order_number, but not as you might think. If the order_number is 2500, then each entry in

Can Rails be used for printing an order in a store application that has arrived? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I am experiencing very poor performance when updating my index. For example, to update the index for 10 documents, it is taking 3 to 4 seconds. My index is currently very small... with probably less than 100 docs in it. I have created my index as follows: GIFT_INDEX = Index::Index.new(:path => "#{index_dir}/gift", :key => ''id'', :auto_flush => true)

Hi, I''m having some problems with acts_as_ferret and indexing. I''ve got a simple 5 column table, and a corresponding Ruby model. I loaded 9 rows directly into the table using mysql (for live it''ll be about .5mil rows) and configured a Rails search page along the exact same lines as ferret_demo. Unfortunately, search wouldn''t return any results; following
