Ferret throws a bus error in the unit tests under Solaris, sun4u architecture. http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ticket/272 Bug reporter appears to be on Solaris 8 with Ruby 1.8.4. I''ve tried on Solaris 10 (first release and 10/06, first without and then with the most recent patch set), both with Ruby 1.8.6, and get exactly the same error in the same spot. Tried with 0.11.4 and also

Hi. We use FerretDrb for search. If the ferret process is down, our entire application comes down the moment we try to save a model which is indexed. Is there a way to decouple this relationship such that we can somehow resume normal operations despite ferret being down and not index the model? Thanks. Morten

Hello. I''m the author of DataMapper (http://datamapper.org), and am trying to choose what Full-Text-Indexing engine/plugin I want to include by default. I was hoping you guys could help. :-) Sphinx comes highly recommended, but without live index updates, it just doesn''t seem practical for most of my work. I''m most experienced with Solr, but the whole HTTP::Request and

I am running version 3.2 of ferret and would like to upgrade to a more current version. will my existing 3.2 index files be compatible? thanks, AK -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hey folks, I''ve added a smoke test script to Ferret. It is named smoke_test.rb and it can be found in the base of the working directory. So what are you supposed to do with it you ask? Well, if you want to help keep Ferret working on your system of choice then set up a cron task to run this script regularly. What the script does is call `svn update` to get the latest working revision.

Hello All: This is potentially a ferret and ruby newbie question. I RTFM-ed (the oreilly shortcut anyway) and didnt find anything obvious. Are there plans for Ferret to support the notion of "payloads" introduced in Lucene 2.2. Payloads are basically arbitrary metadata that can be stored for each term. For example, for each term I can store, say, font information for the term. (

Is Ferret''s SVN repository down? I''m trying to get the source from svn://davebalmain.com/ferret, but I keep getting "Connection Refused" errors. Did the URL change, or is Ferret''s repository really down? -- Bira http://compexplicita.wordpress.com http://compexplicita.tumblr.com

Hello all, I recently upgraded from the Ferret gem 0.11.4 to the Subversion trunk, changeset #770. I did this because I needed the large file patch from http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ticket/215 When adding documents to the index, I get the following message printed to STDERR many times: Warning encoding error. Please check that you are using the correct locale for your input

Hi, I have a model that I''ve been indexing and searching with ferret some problem. We get the following error when accessing the model 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 "/var/www/html/cuproject/index/development/album/_b.cfs" but it doesn''t exist: <No such file or

Hi, I need to map words in a document back to there original word id''s in my database. For example, if I had the sentence "I eat food" and I was searching for "food" I would obviously get the document back as a result. For my particular problem I need to not only get the document id but also the id of the match. Suppose my original sentence was actually

I found it quite fun to generate index by ferret. However, I had to use lucene now. Can I use the index that I''ve already done by ferret? ps. Lucene 2.2.0 vs Ferret 0.11.4 Thx! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

Hi guys, Having committed a fairly large project to ferret I''m a little concerned that ferret svn has been essentially unavailable for weeks (pretty much every time I try I get "can''t connect") and more so now that davebalmain.com has gone off the air. Without meaning to pry, does anyone know whether existing problems in ferret are likely to get fixed? (I can get

Hi ferreters: I''ve already posted this in rails, but someone there suggested this would be better. I''m getting a ferret error when I try to delete any item that has been previously indexed. I just installed ferret, so the indexes aren''t big or anything. What I''m trying to do is to just delete an item on a table that has been index. Here''s the error

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

Hi ferreteers, I came across a segfault in the query parser. It had already been reported[1] and fixed[2], but it can lead to a denial of service. If you use Ferret anywhere that you allow users to execute queries, those users can crash your Ruby process with a specially crafted query. I''m sure you''re all using Monit or something for your Rails or drb processes, so

Hey folks, ** Description ** Firstly for those who don''t know, Ferret is a full-text search library which makes adding search to your application a breeze. It''s much faster than MySQL full-text search as well most other search libraries out there. It allows you to do Boolean (+ruby + rails -jewelry) and phrase queries ("the quick brown fox") as well as some more
