Hi, I have a user model that has a city field which is searchable using acts_as_ferret. But I can''t get it to return any result whether I use :city => {:store => :no, :index => :untokenized}, or :city => {:store => :no} in my User model''s acts_as_ferret option >>> User.find_by_contents("city:(cal poly)") =>

Hi, I am trying to do a search for a field that contains the word "in" or "IN", but ferret doesn''t return me any result. class User < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => { :user => {:store => :no }, :len => {:store => :yes} } end ruby script/console >> User.find_by_contents(''Cal'') =>

Hi, I have configured my model as follows: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => [:description,:label_description,:label_free,:product_id_supplier,:description_supplier,:supplier_description] belongs_to :supplier def supplier_description return "#{self.supplier.description}" end In the development log I can see the supplier_description

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

Hi all, I''ve included a mysql ''text'' column in my index, and aaf/Ferret doesn''t use it when I search, UNLESS I specify it as a restrictor, and then it only searches in that field! For example: => 0 results are returned by a standard (__all__ fields ?) search >> Entity.find_by_contents "zixi" Query: zixi total hits: 0, results

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. Loading development environment. >> Address.rebuild_index => {} >> Address.find_by_contents(''US'') => #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0x4f2ffcc @total_hits=2,

I have a model that allows subclasses to dynamically define fields. The following code is a short test case that illustrates the problem I''m having: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => [:name] serialize :data def self.data_properties (*properties) properties.each do |property| define_method(property) {self.get_property(property)}

I started using robotcoop''s CachedModel class in my project but have encountered problems when using it with the acts_as_ferret plugin. It seems it doesn''t index everything in my STI model, also if I do a search from my base STI class I get a result count but no results. If I run the same search from one of the children STI models I get the appropriate results (if the information

Hi, I''ve got a question about FuzzyQueries. Say I''m doing a search for people by name, and I want to allow fuzzy results if there aren''t enough hits with a regular query. This is easy enough; just redo the search with the fuzzy query if original_results.total_hits is less than some threshold. However, I would like the exact-match results to have a higher score

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

Hi Guys I''m experiencing with AAF and Ferret with the intention of deploying into the site that I am working on now. So I setup AAF to index 3 fields that I have in this model and i tried doing a find_by_contents and it returned the #<FerretMixin::Acts::ARFerret::SearchResults:0xb74b5bec @total_hits=1157, @results=[#<Payprofile:0xb74cc39c @attributes={"add...... but it

Hi! I faced some issue while using it for dynamic attrs indexing/search. Maybe I made something wrong. Here is test method. Everything works just fine until last line http://pastie.caboo.se/66274 . Tested on both stable and trunk of aaf and ferret 0.11.4. the short version of code below: Contact.acts_as_ferret :fields => [ :first_name ] assert

Hello, I''m using: Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 1.2.3, ferret 0.11.4, acts_as_ferret from svn stable. I''ve had quite a day wrestling with trying to remove the use of stopwords. The problem was that when searching for words like "no" or "the", no results were found. I found a confusing thing behavior that has taken me some time to figure out, and I hope sharing it

Hi, guys: Strange search result with conditions in find_by_contents! first of all, i''ve installed the acts_as_ferret to my project vender folder by ''ruby script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret'' in my SearchController def searchforum if !params[:doSearch].nil? if params[:searchTerms].nil? || params[:searchTerms] ==

I seem to be getting some behaviour thats unexpected (for me anyway) when using find_by_contents on an ActiveRecord has_many association. The results that are returned are only the records that belong to the model returned, but the total_hits that are being returned appear to be for the whole table. e.g. class Book < AR::Base has_many :pages end class Page < AR::Base belongs_to :book

Hi all, I''m trying to use acts_as_ferret and have run into a brick wall. My model is Page My controller is Pages_controller. When in console, I can search for contents, and find results. For example, when I search for "spam" it "finds" 7 results. => #<FerretMixin::Acts::ARFerret::SearchResults:0x2693934 @total_hits=7, @results=[]> you can do a

Hi all, I just tagged acts_as_ferret 0.2.2 as the current stable version, so get it while it''s hot ;-) new features: - added support for the multiple models/single index approach. - find out the total number of search results by calling total_hits on the array returned by find_by_contents. fixes: - trac tickets #20 (find_by_contents breaks ferret sorting) and #24

The acts_as_ferret documentation says find_by_content returns an instance of SearchResults, but I see this error when I try to use the results. undefined method `total_hits'' for []:Array Here is the link to the documentation: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/rdoc/classes/FerretMixin/Acts/ARFerret/ClassMethods.html#M000010 But here is the actual code: result =

Hi how do you search against the results returned by find_by_contents using ferret? i.e. how do you "search within these results"? This is an acts_as_ferret question again... thanks in advance.. cheers caspar -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Max, seems to me that your code would help to make things more robust, if it''s a public API then it should stand up to a little abuse in ways not intended. maybe more of an enhancement than a bug fix, but a fix just the same.
