similar to: can''t search for OR (as in the state)

I''m running: ferret (0.10.9) ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-mswin32] on Windows XP(SP2) When I create an index as follows: field_infos = FieldInfos.new(:store => :yes, :term_vector => :no, :index => :yes) field_infos.add_field(:id, :index => :untokenized) field_infos.add_field(:subject) field_infos.add_field(:author) field_infos.add_field(:tags, :store => :no) index =

Hi! I thought I understood Ferret''s query scoring and how to tweak results using boost values. What I currently experience however, leaves me completely baffled. Perhaps someone can shed some light on the scoring algorithm, because asking Ferret to "explain" the score for a particular document isn''t as informative as I thought. Actually, it confuses me even

Hi, I have a model which has properties, these are your standard name/value pairs, but also have attributes that affect how I want to store them in ferret. I was using 0.9.5 with 0.2 of aaf, which seemed fine, I just copied and pasted (yes, I know, ick) the to_doc method and added code to iterate though the properties that that model had, and add relavent fields to the document. It seems

Hi .. I tried to exclude certain objects from my search, by adding appropriate term queries .. i = Ferret::Index::Index.new i.field_infos.add_field(:type, :index => :untokenized, :term_vector => :no) i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Indiana" } i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Forrest" } i << {:type =>

Just a quick note for future reference - at least for me, ferret won''t work on Ruby 1.8.4. gem install ferret Successfully installed ferret-0.11.4-mswin32 ruby -v ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32] irb irb(main):001:0> require ''ferret'' A windows error message box appears - ruby.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point rb_w32_write could not be

Hi, I''ve listened in to this mail list for quite a while now but not doing anything with Ferret until I was ready to incorporate it. I''ve used Lucene for years, but not Ferret. I downloaded and installed the ''bleeding edge'' version (lets call it 0.10.9.1). There appears to be a significant re-working of the API happening. It all looks good. But there

Hi I use Ferret 0.11.4 and the latest stabel version of the acts_as_ferret plugin. To the issue. if I do Model.rebuild_index and after that try to update one of my objects of that Model I get: File Not Found Error occured at <except.c>:117 in xpop_context Error occured in fs_store.c:329 - fs_open_input tried to open

Hey ... I just tried to convert my code to 0.10 .. But i''m currently not sure how to use fields.. i really like some of the new api.. its leaner and i like the fact that these strange consts are gone (like Ferret::Search::BooleanClause::Occur::MUST) .. I see that you''re now having Ferret::Index::FieldInfo to describe the fields of the index.. thats good.. and i now see that

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

I am seeing trouble with searches for ''you'' not returning anything. It appears that ''you'' is a stop word to the standard analyzer: require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' index = Ferret::I.new(:or_default => false) index << ''you'' puts index.search(''you'') returns

Hi, We have an index of around 1M web pages as part of our web app. The app uses ferret by way of RDig to perform searches. We have noticed anecdotally that some searches don''t work the way we thought they should, as if documents were missing from the index. Yesterday we came upon a concrete instance of this. Our documents have several fields, one of which is called :keywords and

The following script creates a search index and then searches it. I get no results? Where am I going wrong? Thanks. -----------BEGIN SCRIPT---------------- require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret path = ''/tmp/myindex'' field_infos = Ferret::Index::FieldInfos.new() field_infos.add_field(:name, :store => :yes, :index => :yes)

I''m getting some results that I don''t understand from a search. The code, based on the tutorial, and the results are below. Everything makes sense to me, except the results for the ''title:"Some"'' query. I would think that it should match the first two documents, but not the third. What am I missing here? Thanks for any help! --- code

I have a lot of crashes when I try to use term vectors. Here''s an example, which crashes pretty consistently. This problem seems to be somewhat sensitive to platform... people on other OS''s and ruby versions have reported no error. I have seen this with ferret 0.10.13 and 0.10.14 on debian stable using ruby 1.8.2, but I have observed the same problem on various other systems as

I want to compare two documents in the index (i.e. retrieve the cosine similarity/score between two documents term-vector''s). Is this possible using the standard Ferret functionality? Thanks in advance, Jeroen Bulters -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey .. maybe someone got a hint for me .. I''ve got a problem with the sorting of search results .. strangely enough, the sorting is fine on my mac development environment, but not okay on my linux live system. I got a field in my index called hierarchy. It contains long strings like: Living together > Family > Brother-In-Law Living together > Family > Marriage > Wife

I am apart of a team that runs a student site called Studicious (http://stu.dicio.us). We have been using Ferret from the beginning, and recently added acts_as_ferret and sorting to the system. As you can see if you try the search, sorting is not working as expected. I am using this code (w/ find_by_content): :sort => Ferret::Search::SortField.new(:school_sort, :reverse => false)

Hello, I''m a novice to ferret, so far only used it via acts_as_ferret. My question is about a recommended pattern for an ''advanced search'', which would be searching by all fields of a model and some fields from related models, with range search, expression search and wildcards. The kind of search in which a user is presented with a huge form that allows them to set

Hi, We''re using Ferret 0.9.4 and we''ve observed the following behavior. Searching for ''fieldname: foo and bar'' works fine while ''fieldname: "foo and bar"'' doesn''t return any results. Is there a way to make ferret recognize the ''and'' inside the query as a search term and not an operator? (I hope I got the

Hello All, I am having an issue with AAF and sorting results of a search. Right now, I have results being split onto pages of 10. The results are being sorted alphabetically, but not across multiple pages - it''s just sorting the 10 it pulls down on each page. I noticed another post from April regarding this same issue (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/62993#66934) where the issue was
