Hello I have a couple of questions, Hope someone here can help answer them. I am using acts_as_ferret on a model Item with around 10 million rows. I use Item.rebuild_index at the ruby console to build the index. It seems to run for at least 48 hours when building. My questions are: 1) How do you know when the indexing is over and complete? 2) How can you confirm that ALL records in the table

I''m wondering if someone can point me in a direction to monitor the ferret drb server while using cacti. Is it possible to run multiple instances of ferret drb on the same machine, just on different ports? Will it still update the index properly, or will you get collision? New to moving over to the drb server. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

What should I be doing to maintain ferret and help prevent index corruption? Do I need to rebuild it manually every night/week/day? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

i''m indexing a table from some legacy db via a nightly executed script/runner command (LegacyInfobase.rebuild_index). but very often newer documents don''t show up in search results for quite some days. when running it manually from console for diagnosis it mostly stops with this error (but not always): [This was fast-saved 1 times. Some information is lost] IOError: IO Error

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

Hi, We''re happily using Ferret through acts_as_ferret on a Rails website, but we have an issue with rebuilding indexes. The Rails project directories are on an NFS mounted volume and running Model.rebuld_index there seems to take 60-100 times longer than it does on a local filesystem (e.g. /tmp). What we''d like to do is rebuild our indexes in say /tmp, then copy them back when

Hi, we are using ferret and acts_as_ferret in a single server setup. We have 2 models that use acts_as_ferret.

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

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

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...

Hey guys, I know I can run search(q).total_hits, but if I try to put :limit=>0 it gives me an error. I don''t want it actually query any of the results, I just want it to tell me how many total_hits I would have if I wanted to search it. How can I do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

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

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.
