similar to: Last indexed date for a model?

Hi, i''ve a project in wich i have 2 different rails apps accessing the same DB. The backoffice, as usual, changes data. The frontoffice has a search capabilities with acts_as_ferret (paginated) for search. Maybe this is a newbie question but, when i delete index and restart front app all the articles are indexed, but the new one''s (via backoffice) are not searchable. Does

I have a site with two indexes. Index A is created offline by RDig and queried from the web via RDig (specifically, RDig.searcher.search). Index B is managed by AAF with :remote => true. Simple enough. However, I need to query both indexes from RDig. Usually this is ok, as I modified RDig to accept an array of search_paths with an element for index A and index B. However, when Index

Hi! Aaf trunk has undergone several major refactorings the last days, with the result that you can now transparently switch your app from local to remote indexing and back :-) If you plan to scale your app to more than one physical machine, or if you have problems with corrupted indexes and the like under high load, you really should give this a try. I wrote some documentation to get you

Hi, I have my Model as follows: class Mutation < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret ({:fields => {:description=>{}, :product_id=>{:index => :untokenized}, :product_description=>{}, :product_label_description=>{}, :product_label_free=>{}, :product_product_id_supplier=>{}, :product_description_supplier=>{}, :supplier_description=>{}, :pub_date_sort

I''m using acts_as_ferret and have indexed a model with acts_as_ferret :fields => [:name, :ascii_name, :alt_names], :single_index => true. Now in the index directory more than 95.000 files are generated! The number of tuples I''m indexing is approx. 86.000. I can''t remember this from earlier ferret/acts_as_ferret versions where I''ve indexed millions of

So my ferret behaves nicely in dev mode, but I just deployed and now he is not happy! First thing I noticed was that in general my app would not start with a folder called "development" in my index folder, so I changed it to "production" and now my app is functioning. However, when I try to search I get errors, which you can see here: http://pastie.caboo.se/61767 Im

No, that search model is just a plain class that backs your search form. If you want to

Hi, I''ve been having a problem getting highlighting to work with aaf. I have a class defined as follows such: class Link < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => { :description => { :store => :yes } } end I get back the correct results when I do Link.find_by_contents, however, I''d like to highlight them. If I do something like iterate through the list of

Is there a way I can get ferret to give the highest ranking to an exact term match? The problem I have right now is that I am searching both title and body fields, so even if I boost the title field, if the body has more instances of the query, then it gets pushed up in rank. I would like for ferret to put exact matches (of the title field) at the very top of the pile, so if I do a

I have a win xp box running instant rails. I installed ferret (the win version) and acts_as_ferret seemingly succesfully. I then added "require ''acts_as_ferret''" to the environment.rb file of my project. However, I cannot get webrick/mongrel to start. Can anyone suggest a solution?

hi! short question about aaf: is there a builtin functionality in acts_as_ferret to exclude records from being indexed when for example a column "is_deleted" / "is_disabled" / "dont_index" has a certain value? regards neongrau -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello everyone, I''m using multi-search to search in some attributes of two classes. One of the attributes is the id of the customer. For each multi_search I want to do a give the id of the current customer as a parameter. This should only return results for the given customer. My current code looks like this: Folder.multi_search(@search_query, [Myfile]) I noticed in the API you can

I''m having problems sorting on untokenized fields. I have one field that sorts fine, but there are others that seem to sort on a different field. Here''s the index description: acts_as_ferret :remote=>true,:fields=>{:name=>{:boost=>2},:name_for_sort=>{:index => :untokenized}, :city=>{:boost=>2}, :city_for_sort=>{:index=>:untokenized},

Hello, I''m trying to setup ferret search engine(what i did successfully for searching english phrases, words) But i doesn''t work for UTF-8 symbols!!!

Say the user first enters "ruby" for search and gets 1000 results. Then he can search "rails" just in the 1000 results just returned. The common scenario is some kind of advanced search. User can incrementally add criteria and the program will narrow the results step by step. I know that at least I can use all the criteria as a whole to do the searching, but this is a waste

We get some unexpected results when using wild card queries. We''re using aaf and Ferret 0.11.4 For exampel, when seraching on a part of a collegues name (kristofer) and limiting it to a specific source_id: Query: source_id:25 AND kri* Result: 2 documents. None of them containg the word kristofer, but other matching words, as "kring" and "kring?" (swedish) Query:

This is important and may be affecting you if you use :select to minimize the columns you need on big queries. If you use :select to define which columns you need and you have not included all the columns you defined in the :acts_as_ferret field definitions you''ll clear the content of those fields on the ferret index. And that may corrupt your index. So, if you have in your model:

I need a way to kill the ferret_server drb process programatically, so I can start/stop it as part of the capistrano deployment process. This should be as simple as adding some sort of stop method to ActsAsFerret::Remote::Server. I was just messing around and was able to do it by modifying method_missing to look for the :stop method and then calling DRb.thread.exit -- this is not good enough for
