similar to: Performance before and after optimization

Thanks Stuart. I thought I had read somewhere that rebuild_index built the index in a different location and then swapped it, but after looking at the code (in local_index.rb) this doesn''t appear to be the case. That might explain why the ferret server crashes sometimes when a search takes place during a reindex. I wouldn''t be doing exactly the same thing as this but

Hi all, there was a recent thread[1] on rails-deploy about Ferret in which a lot of people complained of problems using it in production. I''ve been using Ferret (with DRb) for many months now with no serious issues. I''m assuming the posters know what they''re doing so I''m guessing they''re just using Ferret in higher-scale environments than me. I

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.

Hi there, I can''t seem to find a way to create a new ticket.

Hello, I am not able to run this command given in the tutorial http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/ *Inside your Rails project* Please use script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret gem is installed. i have added the desired line in environment.rb as well but while running this particular command of svn://.. nothing actually

Hello, I''ve been trying to get my head around ferret and the one thing that stumps me is how I might use Drb on a dedicated server with multiple clients using the SAME application but each with their own private database and other file assets (in an uploads directory within the app) Thank you for any suggestions, pointer etc. Also I''d be very interested in hearing from those

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

Hey all, The frequency count returned by my ferret reader doesn''t decrement after I remove a documents with those terms. Using the example from http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Index/TermEnum.html the frequency increments after a document is added but stays the same after a document is deleted. index.reader.terms(:tags).each do |term, freq| "#{term} appears

Hello everyone, we''ve recently discovered a memory leak in the PerFieldAnalyzer. If you use the PerFieldAnalyzer (which you acutally should), you should switch to a pure ruby version of that analyzer. The C version of the Analyzer is consuming memory on every analyzing request. You can find an example script to verify the leak[1]. Furthermore we''ve added a workaround, building

Hi, I''m trying to get parallelized ferret indexing working for my AAF indices, based on the example in the O''Reilly Ferret shortcut. However, the resulting indices after merging seem to have no actual documents. I went and made minimal changes to the example in the Ferret shortcut pdf, and indeed can''t get that to work either. I''d appreciate any help

Is Ferret''s SVN repository down? I''m trying to get the source from svn://davebalmain.com/ferret, but I keep getting "Connection Refused" errors. Did the URL change, or is Ferret''s repository really down? -- Bira http://compexplicita.wordpress.com http://compexplicita.tumblr.com

The documentation* states that when using a single index for multiple models, the default_field list should be set to the same thing for all models. However, in my application, all my models have very different fields and this is not possible. I still want the results returned sorted by term frequency across all indexed content in each model. What is the purpose of default_field? Under

Hi all I''m using a_a_f in rails with a StemmingAnalyzer, in the index and in my search. I got the idea from this topic: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/80178 I''m having a problem with some search terms - i narrowed one of them down to the inclusion of the word ''fly''. Can anyone give me any clues at to what might be happening, or even how i can investigate?

hello, I am actually indexing thousands of 1ko text documents using ferret and acts_as_ferret, and i face performance problems. I takes me hours to index 20 000 1ko text documents. Methology used : I create and object, fulfill it with the text, and save it. So it is automaticly indexed. Is there a way to make it faster ? ( remove the auto optimize option somewhere ?) Thank you if you have any

Hi, i like to index most of my model fields, but limit the search only to a (changing) subset of this fields. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi guys, I''m using attachment_fu on my site to allow users to upload pictrues. Pictures can be set to only allow friends to view them. The problem I''m having is ferret is indexing the images along with their thumbnails which means I end up with a lot of broken images in the search. Also it''s indexing images whose privacy is set to 1 (friends only). How could I go about

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 have my Model as follows: class Mutation < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret ({:fields => {:description=>{}, :product_id=>{:index => :untokenized}, :product_description=>{}, :product_label_description=>{}, :product_label_free=>{}, :product_product_id_supplier=>{}, :product_description_supplier=>{}, :supplier_description=>{}, :pub_date_sort

Hi, am using this wonderful plugin acts_as_ferret and according to the tutorial at http://railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as- ? rial#basic I worked it out except the pagination feature. If I have 12 records and I give limit to 10, its correctly displaying 10 records in the first page and is giving the link to the second page too. But when I go to the next page I find the same 10 records instead of
