Hey guys, I wanted to share with you guys a detailed tutorial I just finished this weekend for using Acts_As_Ferret. http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial I started using Ferret and Acts_As_Ferret a few weeks ago, and I learned so much that I wanted to give back to the community by writing up a helpful tutorial that covers all the key topics in one

I''ve read the Rails Envy AAF tutorial at http://railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial and its given me some really good ideas. My problem lies in having AAF search the target Model''s child tables. I have no problem at all doing something like: acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :update_collection, :member_name] def member_name return

Hi, i''ve a project in wich i have 2 different rails apps accessing the same DB. The backoffice, as usual, changes data. The frontoffice has a search capabilities with acts_as_ferret (paginated) for search. Maybe this is a newbie question but, when i delete index and restart front app all the articles are indexed, but the new one''s (via backoffice) are not searchable. Does

hi, i''ve to choose a search engine for a medium-big site with a lot of searches and inserts at the same moment, do you suggest me something? i''m thinking about ferret, but i read that it has some problems with this king of "work" :( -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, Is highlighting for range queries supposed to work ? It doesn''t work here. here is an non-working example: (highlighting works when q="test:2007*") require ''ferret'' include Ferret index = Index::Index.new() #index.field_infos.add_field(:test, :store => :yes, :index => :untokenized) i=1 for a in [ "20070505", "20071230",

Hi I am trying to use ferret; the regular search works; but when I use the find_storage_by_contents to highlight the results, I am getting the above error. Please help thanks -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I''m encountering another highlighting issue. (about the first one "range search and highlighting", i received no response. I don''t even know if somebody tried to reproduce and/or if it''s normal behavior) about the new issue, an example will be easier for you to reproduce: I''m filling an index with random data, i try to match for "*1*"

Hi, I have i am trying to add a search feature to a ruby on rails blog, so ive decided to use ferret. So far i have had quite a few problems with it, from following a few tutorials i didnt really understand... i am at the point where i can make a search and it returns the score of the result. I want it to also show the title of the post and i think i have implemented it correctly but it

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 =>

We get some unexpected results when using wild card queries. We''re using aaf and Ferret 0.11.4 For exampel, when seraching on a part of a collegues name (kristofer) and limiting it to a specific source_id: Query: source_id:25 AND kri* Result: 2 documents. None of them containg the word kristofer, but other matching words, as "kring" and "kring?" (swedish) Query:

Hi. I''m searching multiple indexes by passing an array of paths to Index::IndexReader.new(). I get several hits back, and can determine the document id of each. Now I want to fetch highlighted excerpts from a field in one of the matched documents. The problem I''m having is that Index::IndexReader doesn''t have a highlight() method. And, while Index::Index does

Hi, I''ve been having a problem getting highlighting to work with aaf. I have a class defined as follows such: class Link < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => { :description => { :store => :yes } } end I get back the correct results when I do Link.find_by_contents, however, I''d like to highlight them. If I do something like iterate through the list of

Has anyone else found that using ferret''s highlighting slows searches down significantly? I am seeing that it more than doubles the search time on my system. I am returning up to 500 results at once, so the slow down is quite noticeable (probably adding about .7 seconds for searches with large result sets.) --Paul -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, when I type this: ruby script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret from my rails project the plugin is not getting installed, its simply going back to my rails application.

Hi Does acts_as_ferret support a :group clause? For e.g any rails options like :select or :group etc? or is it that it supports only few of such options?Like it supports :include Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I''m using acts_as_ferret and have indexed a model with acts_as_ferret :fields => [:name, :ascii_name, :alt_names], :single_index => true. Now in the index directory more than 95.000 files are generated! The number of tuples I''m indexing is approx. 86.000. I can''t remember this from earlier ferret/acts_as_ferret versions where I''ve indexed millions of

No, that search model is just a plain class that backs your search form. If you want to

Hey guys, I know I can run search(q).total_hits, but if I try to put :limit=>0 it gives me an error. I don''t want it actually query any of the results, I just want it to tell me how many total_hits I would have if I wanted to search it. How can I do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi! Aaf trunk has undergone several major refactorings the last days, with the result that you can now transparently switch your app from local to remote indexing and back :-) If you plan to scale your app to more than one physical machine, or if you have problems with corrupted indexes and the like under high load, you really should give this a try. I wrote some documentation to get you

I have a site with two indexes. Index A is created offline by RDig and queried from the web via RDig (specifically, RDig.searcher.search). Index B is managed by AAF with :remote => true. Simple enough. However, I need to query both indexes from RDig. Usually this is ok, as I modified RDig to accept an array of search_paths with an element for index A and index B. However, when Index
