Hi all, I upgraded from Ferret 0.11.3 to Ferret 0.11.4 because I was getting intermittent segfaults that seemed to be due to a bug which was fixed (changeset 749). Unfortunately, 0.11.4 + acts_as_ferret seems to be a bad combination. I''m getting the some "fs_store/File Not Found Error occured at <except.c>:117" which was reported in the "Constant 0.11.4

Am I missing something or would I need to use find_id_by_contents and populate a results list with my own objects (or add ''score'' to my AR instances and populate that) in order to be able to get a score out when iterating the results (like on a search results page)? Said another way, it seems find_by_contents does not provide any access to score in the resulting list. Is

Hello folks, I have four models, each with their own separate index. Models = Articles, Blogs, MusicTracks, and MediaFiles I have individual searches within each section of the site working just fine, but I want to have a gloabl search that searches across all of them at the same time and returns the results ordered by score. Here''s how far I am now... def search query =

Hi, I just upgraded from acts_as_ferret 0.2/Ferret 0.9.x to acts_as_ferret 0.3/ferret .10.9, and i''m getting a strange behavior: searches are returning far too many results, most of them superflous. i''ll paste in my code below, it''s pretty simple. i''m googling like mad, and going through both the source and the forums, and having trouble finding what could

Hi, I''m having some problems with acts_as_ferret and indexing. I''ve got a simple 5 column table, and a corresponding Ruby model. I loaded 9 rows directly into the table using mysql (for live it''ll be about .5mil rows) and configured a Rails search page along the exact same lines as ferret_demo. Unfortunately, search wouldn''t return any results; following

acts_as_ferret :fields => { :name => {:}, :desc => {}, :start_date => {} } def start_date self.start_datetime.strftime("%Y%m%d") end Now that I am strong start_date in YYYYMMDD format, I want to search for all event in between 20070506 and 20070809 What will my query look like when I am using aaf. This one doesn''t work

Hi, I am using acts_as_ferret and have a problem with scoring. I would like to organize it in such way that, if any of the searched terms fits, I get 1.0 score as a result. I will explain it on the example. I have in index: a) "one two three four" b) "one two three" c) "one two" d) "one" When I search for "one" I would like to get 1.0 score for

I set up ferret and it''s running fine normally. Now I want to hook up the backgroundrb server. However whenever I try to do a search, I get this error: (druby://localhost:9010) /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1075:in `method_missing'' (druby://localhost:9010) ./vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/remote_index.rb:20:in `find_id_by_contents'' (druby://localhost:9010)

Hi guys, I am using acts_as_ferret to do full text search on my models and I am having problem on three-letter word searches. I am going to use an example to explain my problem. Here it is: There is a table called users and it has login, first_name, last_name columns. There are three rows inside it. login first_name last_name bob bob henry longbob nil

This might be more of a Lucene question, but I can''t figure it out. How come this works: Item.find_id_by_contents("name:Bob") but this returns no results: Item.find_id_by_contents(Ferret::Search::TermQuery.new(:name, "Bob")) Thanks in advance! -Jon -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey all, I''ve been really happy with ferret thus far and all my search on my site is based on it. One of the recent challenges I ran into is changing some of my pagination within my site. Until now, I just used the tutorials out there that talk about how to get pagination working with acts_as_ferret. Recently, I decided to change my pagination to begin using the "Paginating

Dave and all, I run a medium RoR app using Ferret and acts_as_ferret. I get a lot of lock errors. Not always but around 5% of all searches (aspecially during peak periods).
