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, i''m indexing a really large db table (~4.2 million rows). i''ve noticed that after ~2M records, index performance decreases by almost an order of magnitude. full dataset graph here: http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o244/spokeo/indexer-data.jpg here''s a couple best-fit lines that represent the data points: 0-2M : y = 78.65655x + 144237.5 2.5M+ : y = 10.79832x +

Hey Dave, I just contributed $100 to the ferret donation box. My project is earning no money yet (but hopefully will), for now I hope this helps you out and covers me for asking stupid questions ;). To get a distance sorted output, I am passing an array of the id field from a ferret search through to mysql in a custom select statement. SELECT ... id IN (#{ids.join(",")}) This has

Hi all, I cannot make aaf (rev. 220) use my custom analyzer, despite following the indications @ http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/AdvancedUsage To pinpoint the problem, I created a model + a simple analyzer with 2 stop words : "fax" and "gsm". test 1 : model.rebuild_index + model.find_by_contents("fax") # fax is a stop word. => I get a

I''m having some problems with getting the drb server to work correctly on my production server. As a workaround I tried disabling automatic indexing and have a cron job manually update the index every hour or so. I disabled the automatic indexing with: def ferret_enabled? false end But whenever I try Page.rebuild_index I get a ''wrong number of arguments''

Hi, in a production environment we are running into "MySQL server has gone away" errors (see below) when we call rebuild_index in aaf. This happens sporadically. Any suggestions for what might be wrong or workarounds? I guess we try a reconnect before we call rebuild_index?

I have installet the Ferret gem v. 0.11.6 and the latest acts_as_ferret plugin from svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret I''ve followed the instructions here http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/DrbServer to set up the server, and put acts_as_ferret :remote => true on one of my models (Ad) I can also start the ferret_server, but when

Hi, I use ruby console to experiment acts_as_ferret, but I ran into file rename error when I try to rebuild index after doing a search. is this normal? I am using Ferret 0.10.9 in windows XP.

Hi all, first off, it''s 2AM and I''m not thinking properly, so please forgive me if this one''s easy, but I just need to get this going. First problem, using 0.9.6 on all of our development machines, works great, then we move it to a server running x86_64 linux and it segfaults as soon as it tries to create an Index. I''ve tried rebuilding with different

Hi, I had ferret working wonderfully but i am regretting doing a gem update today. I had alot of trouble first installing it and was really happy to have it working. The upgrade was from 0.3.1 to 0.4.0. The problem is; in the rails console, >> @results = Book.find_by_contents("peter pan") => #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0x487040c @total_hits=0, @results=[]> Its indexing

Gents, I successfully installed AAF on my TextDrive OpenSolaris Container, but I''m having some issues with indexing. I have a model called Blogs which has AAF enabled. The first time I tried to find_by_contents for a ''word'' I know was on the Database I got now results. Apparently the index was not ready yet. Then I waited a few hours and checked that the /index

Hi all, We''re attempting to use Ferret with the DRb server at the moment, and it doesn''t work, at all... = Executive Summary The DRb server process keeps on calling the remote index to the DRb server process... Which means DRb is calling itself, and itself, and itself, until Ruby kills the Thread with a SystemStackLevel error. = The excruciating details... # Mongrel is

Hi guys! Been reading this list for a while. I have two repeatable Ferret crash bugs, both seg faults. 1. The first bug appears to seg fault Ferret when you use quotes in a search argument (eg ''file_name:"file name"'') 2. The second bug appears to seg fault Ferret when you attempt to index text with very long tokens (above 256 chars). It may have something to do with
