How would you go about searching only a specific set of IDs in acts_as_ferret? Should I just create a huge "or" query or is there a more stylish way? Thanks, Winton -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I have a ferret index with 2 fields: Acts_as_ferret :fields => [:client, :content] If I do model.find_by_contents(query) I obtain all results by the query but I would like to obtain 3 results for each client. Any ideas? Thanks for all. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m using acts_as_ferret to do a query like this: Model1.multi_search("my query",[Model2,Model3], :limit => 2) No matter what number i set limit to I get 10 items in the resultset. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks/David -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

Hello. I''m trying to use the ''acts_as_ferret'' gem with Rails. Rails: 1.1.4 and 1.2.3 OS: WinXP I''ve installed both Ferret and the plugin using Ruby Gems: C:\>gem install ferret Successfully installed ferret-0.11.4-mswin32 Installing ri documentation for ferret-0.11.4-mswin32...

Hello all, I''ve just recently gotten my ActiveRecord models indexed properly in my Rails App. Woohoo! So I''ve started testing some searches. Is there some limit to acts_as_ferret that only allows it to return 10 results? I''m searching for common terms in my data that I _know_ return many results, but I only ever get at most 10 results. This is in a db with 350k

I am running into the following error when I try to search across multiple models with multi_search() I have rebuilt the indices and can search on each model individually using the Rails console. Here is the output from the console. >> Post.multi_search(''new'', [Message, WikiPage]) ArgumentError: wrong number of arguments (1 for 0) from

Hi all, I''ve ran into a problem with Ferret on my rails app, and I don''t really have a clue about why. When running the unit tests, I get the following error output: > Exception raised: > Class: <NoMethodError> > Message: <"You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!\nThe > error occured while evaluating nil.version"> >

Hi Everyone, I''ve a RoR application. I am trying to build full text search capability into it. I installed Ferret. After that I installed the act_as_ferret plugin. I''ve also put the acts_as_ferret inside the <model>.rb file . I''m using the find_by_contents to get the search results. I''m getting the following error. I''ve no clue and I

Hi all, the current acts_as_ferret trunk is now ported to Ferret 0.10. Get it while it''s hot at svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/plugin Nearly everything works, besides this: - all queries are ORed (no way to tell the QueryParser to build AND queries by default) - more_like_this is broken I''m working with Dave to fix these things soon. The last Ferret 0.9.x

acts_as_ferret does not handle transaction aborts properly. If a model is modified but something latter causes the transaction it was wrapped in to abort, the ferret index will not revert to the original record data. I have included a klunky patch to defer modifying the ferret index until after the current transaction commits. It would seem prudent to resolve this issue, though I

I set up ferret and it''s running fine normally. Now I want to hook up the backgroundrb server.

We were using ferret (with acts_as_ferret) on our production boxes. Everything was going OK for a few days then we got a seg fault from it that brought down the box. The specs: * Rails 1.1.6 * Ruby 1.8.4 * Ferret 0.10.6 * RedHat ES 3 * Apache * Pound * 5 instances of Mongrel Can ferret handle multiple processes accessing it''s files at the same time? Not that we were doing this (but

Hi. We''ve had some problems with ferret not being able to load our classes (stack trace below for the curious). I nailed it down to a deployment issue, where an old instance of ferret drb was running. I don''t understand the details quite yet, but the result was the the old ferret was never shutdown during redeployment, and attempts were made to start up a new one. Anywho,

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.
