Hello list, I just started using ferret and it really doesn''t go my way. Doing gem install ferret outputs -> make install /usr/bin/install -c -m 0755 ferret_ext.so /var/lib/gems/1.8/gems/ ferret-0.10.13/lib make clean Successfully installed ferret-0.10.13 Installing ri documentation for ferret-0.10.13...

I have a script (below) which attempts to make an index out of all the man pages on my system. It takes a while, mostly because it runs man over and over... but anyway, as time goes on the memory usage goes up and up and never down. Eventually, it runs out of ram and just starts thrashing up the swap space, pretty much grinding to a halt. The workaround would seem to be to index documents in

Dave and all, I run a medium RoR app using Ferret and acts_as_ferret. I get a lot of lock errors. Not always but around 5% of all searches (aspecially during peak periods).

Up to now in my ferret development I have been using simple single-word strings as my search queries. I just now am trying to increase the complexity of my queries. When I was passing a single word with no spaces in my index searches, like so: count = index.search_each(''testing'') do |d, s| ... end everything worked fine. But now when I do something like this: count =

We have an application that uses Ferret and acts_as_ferret that we just upgraded to Ferret 0.10.5 (from 0.9.5) and the corresponding version of the acts_as_ferret. Everything works as expected on my laptop, which is running mongrel 0.3.13.3. When I deploy the application on our server, which is running some version of Red Hat Linux, I can''t get Ferret to work at all when

I may have run across a bug in Ferret: if throws a segmentation fault when I try to create a Sort object using the default fields (SCORE and DOC_ID), but setting reverse to true. Here''s the minimal example: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' Ferret::Search::Sort.new Ferret::Search::Sort.new( [

Hi, I''m using ferret and running into troubles with it seg faulting during searches. The index I''m searching is static and is only updated in an offline way once every couple weeks. The segfault isn''t deterministically reproducible, but if I hammer ferret hard enough I can reliably get it to crash. The problem seems to have something to do with how memory is shared

Hello All: This is potentially a ferret and ruby newbie question. I RTFM-ed (the oreilly shortcut anyway) and didnt find anything obvious. Are there plans for Ferret to support the notion of "payloads" introduced in Lucene 2.2. Payloads are basically arbitrary metadata that can be stored for each term. For example, for each term I can store, say, font information for the term. (
