Hi, I have got a peculiar requirement in my project. I need to apply some boost to different fields of my index. But the problem is the boost that needs to be applied is dynamic. It changes for everyrow of data.I am storing that in the index itself while building it. Is there anyway by which i can add the boost to search query while searching. at present am retreiving the whole set of searched

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

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

I''m using ferret 0.10.14 in Linux Fedora 3. When I do highlight with Index::Index#highlight, it works well. But, doing the same test with Searcher#highlight, [BUG] Segmentation fault occurred. Here''s my test code. require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret::Search #searcher = Ferret::Index::Index.new(:path =>

I am using ferret to build a search application for my site. I used stemming analyzer to build the index. When i searched "market" i get hits but on searching "marketing" i get no hits,while there are fields containing the word marketing. I am using stemming analyzer even while searching. Is the problem with the analyzer? Or am I missing out something -------------- next part

Hi. I want to learn more about ferret. So I downloaded ferret-0.10.14 and write a simple test script Only query = TermQuery.new(:content, ''program'') gives result. If I change ''program'' with ''Good'' or ''Extra'' -> no result and searching on (:title, ''Ruby'') -> no result Strange, Strange Here is the

I have got my database in Mysql. I used ferret to index a table with 10 million rows. On limiting the selection of data to 1000 initial retrieval, it takes 200 seconds but for the whole table it took more than four hours and after which i had to close my indexing application. I used the StandardAnalyser for it. There is no problem from the database side as retrieval of all the data in the table

Hi, I am unable to use the Searcher''s explain method. Anytime I call it, I get Segmentation Faults and it kills the process I have running my Rails site. Has anyone else had this problem? Here is some code I am trying to use it in... search = Search.create(:query => query) @quotations = [] searcher = Ferret::Search::Searcher.new("index") # FerretConfig::INDEX bq =

If searching multiple indexes with a single searcher is there anyway to identify which index a resulting doc is stored in? i1 = Ferret::I.new i2 = Ferret::I.new i1 << {:id=>1,:text=>"random stuff"} i1.commit reader = Ferret::Index::IndexReader.new([i1.options[:dir],i2.options[:dir]]) searcher = Ferret::Index::IndexSearcher.new(reader) query =

Hi everyone, I''m pretty new to Lucene and Ferret, so I feel that this is most likely myself not completely understanding the correct way to do this. I haved indexed ~2200 text files (of various sizes), and I am now running searches on the index to get a feel for Lucene and Ferret. In my first program, which is using Lucene I search for ''influenza'' and get the

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

Hi, I have a largish index [700MB] which is updated from time to time, requiring me to close and recreate the Ferret::Search::Searcher to use the latest index. My problem is that the first few searches on the new index are slow [by comparison to before the close/recreate], I''m guessing because the new index is being loaded into RAM by my OS and into Ferret as needed. I''m

I just started using Ferret and I successfully indexed some documents. I can search this index using the following code: index = Index::Index.new(:path => path) index.search_each("something") do |doc, score| print "##{doc} #{index[doc][''url'']} - #{score}" print "\n" end However, when I try to use Search::Searcher and QueryParser

Hi, I''m trying to use highlight ferret method with trunk aaf and 0.10.1 ferret. In my search display I use: Myindexedclass.ferret_index.searcher.highlight(@query, result_line.id, :content) * searcher is a protected method; how can I access to the searcher from aaf ? * is the doc id in aaf the same as my model id ? * is the first param, query, the string query or the query object ?

Hi folks, I''ve working and playing with acts_as_ferret and follow this fantastic tutorial: http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial When I try to implement the field storage tip, it crash. So, I try to make it via script/console: 1. I have a simple model called Articles: class Article < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields =>

I am trying to test drive ferret on a ubuntu dapper installation. I have a ferret-test.rb file like: ----begin--------- require ''ferret'' include Ferret index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/opt/search-index'') ----end----------- When i issue: ruby ferret-test.rb, I get: ferret-test.rb:1:in `require'': no such file to load -- ferret (LoadError)

I was having some odd results when working with acts_as_ferret (current trunk), so I decided to test with the current version of ferret to see if I encountered the same problem. I did. Here are the details: installed ferret 0.10.10 on debian sarge with ''sudo gem install ferret'' (btw, same results on OSX) opened up an irb session: irb(main):001:0> require

I have found another crash in ferret; this one just uses a regular search. It''s similar to an issue reported by Matt Schnitz a while ago, but unlike his, mine does not go away if I turn off omit_norms. It does go away if I turn on the garbage collector more often, but I''m not sure that''s a stable workaround under the circumstances. This one isn''t a
