Hi all, Im a newbie to ferret.I have installed the act_as_ferret gem and i actually want to search for some content in the model,but per user. My model has data,user_id.So within the data column i have to serach for a word if it exists for a given user.

Hi all, I have indexes on 2 models e.g Message model acts_as_ferret(:store_class_name => true, :fields =>{:message => {:store => :compressed}, :felix_user_id => {:index =>:untokenized_omit_norms,:store => :no}) and the chat model acts_as_ferret(:store_class_name => true, :fields => {:name => {:store =>

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...

Hi all, i have model A which has a field indexed from model B. model A belongs to model B. So whenever i insert a row in model ''A'', a query is fired to the field from model ''B'' even though the data was not changed for the field in model B. Can i somehow avoid these extra queries,or rather query the data and index it,only if the data has been changed>? e.g

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 tried sorting the search results in Ferret::Index::Index#search and what I found was that the sort is applied not to the whole search but to the returned results. Suppose I have these results: Text - Num foo - 2 bar - 3 far - 4 boo - 1 If I limit the search to the first two and sort by num I get: foo - 2 bar - 3 while I think the natural behaviour would be: boo - 1 foo - 2 Is this

Hi everybody! I am proud to present you a small project I have been working on for a while: Picolena, a documents search engine written in Rails. ( http://picolena.devjavu.com/ ). It obviously uses Ferret for indexing and searching, and adds some plain text extractors in order to index OOffice.org, pdf and MS Office documents (and some others as well). Everything is packed in a gem (gem install

Hi folks. If I am indexing ModelA and ModelB and I want to search both of them, I usually just pick one arbitrarily and use it for #multi_search. Is there a slicker pattern, regarding from which model to invoke #multi_search? Can it be invoked directly from the Ferret library? Has anyone put together some sort of "dummy" search class? Thanks for any ideas. John

Back in September (http://rubyforge.org/pipermail/ferret-talk/2006- September/001210.html) Dave said: "Another use-case might be to have multiple indexes to speed up indexing. If for example you are scraping websites it is a very good idea to have multiple scraping processes. The best way to do this is to have each process indexing to its own index. You could then search all indexes

I''m trying to sort by score but it seems like SortField::SortType::SCORE is 0 instead of a SortType. A test case is attached. Without the C extensions the test passes, so I guess it''s a bug in them. Should I be using it without the extensions? Because if that''s the case I have some other bugs to report.

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

I''m running from the trunk, and hitting road blocks no matter which way I attempt to search across multiple indexes. I tried a MultiSearcher, but I can''t pass a string for the search query ms.search "iraq" TypeError: wrong argument type String (expected Data) So I tried creating a QueryParser to pass, but I can''t get the fields from the reader

Thanks for the response Jens. Indeed I am sorting by something other than relevancy, so that would explain it. Optimized, it''s extremely fast and handles a good load, but new records kill it until I optimize. I haven''t tried :merge_factor as I wasn''t aware of it. I''m not sure it will help given the above. Regarding the re-index locking code,

Hello, I''ve been trying to make sorting in ferret case insensitive without any luck. I''ve been searching the mailing list, the docs and nothing. Apparently setting the type option for the sort to string should do it, but it doesn''t. Does anyone know how to achieve this? Thanks. -- Efr?n D?az http://www.efrendiaz.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.

Hi i have a column in my ferret model called sponsored. It is a boolean and i want to order the results by sponsored and date registered. At the moment it is not managing to sort the booleans. I tried declaring this in my model but it seems to have had no effect. def false.<=>(o) o ? -1 : 0 end def true.<=>(o) !o ? 1 : 0 end I''m using the acts_as_ferret plugin. below

Hi there, I''m having some strange sorting stuff goign on.

I''m using Ferret on a Swedish website and I get some unexpected behaviour on searches containing the swedish charchters ???. An exampel, if I index a string "Varf?r fungerar det inte" ("Why doesnt it work" in swedish) and search for "f?r" I''ll get one (1) match. The expected behaviour would be no matches since ''f?r'' is part of

I may have run across a bug in Ferret: if throws a segmentation fault when I try to create a Sort object using the default fields (SCORE and DOC_ID), but setting reverse to true.
