I''m trying to use the Ferret DRB server to avoid concurrency issues when using multiple mongrels. I can successfully add and edit data on my index via the DRB server, however, when I search the index, I get the following error: DRb::DRbConnError (DRb::DRbServerNotFound): /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1647:in `current_server'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1709:in

Up to now in my ferret development I have been using simple single-word strings as my search queries. I just now am trying to increase the complexity of my queries. When I was passing a single word with no spaces in my index searches, like so: count = index.search_each(''testing'') do |d, s| ... end everything worked fine. But now when I do something like this: count =

Along with the contents of the documents in my index, I have stored the date they were added. I want to search for keywords in the index but have the results be sorted by their date rather than their relevance to the keywords. How would I do this in ferret? Thanks, Carl

I am getting strange results when I reverse sort a query. I am sorting by date, but it doesn''t seem to be related to dates (I have tried just integers). I also paginate the results. Items in the result set are sometimes duplicated and the not ordered at all. When I try a non-reverse sort I don''t see duplicates and the ordering is correct. Any ideas what is going on? Thanks

Hi! First, thanks a LOT for ferret. The API and documentation is great. I''m trying to integrate ferret into a RoR app (DamageControl) and have run into a problem with locks. DamageControl consists of two processes that start up and run in parallel. The first one is the webapp (which is just a plain RoR app). The second is a daemon process that runs in the background. The daemon process

Hello everyone, I was stress-testing my application (running on Rails via FastCGI) by letting two concurrent users (not human .. an app called ''siege'') a) save an Article and b) search for all Articles. I am searching via Article.ferret_index.search_each( ..) do |doc_id,score| doc = index[doc_id] .. end and writing via Article.ferret_index <<

There is serious memory leak bug in ferret. I''m having this error on TextDrive Container (aka. Joyent Accelerators) OpenSolaris with Ferret 0.11.4 It happens while searching for some terms with accented or special characters. This makes ferret to allocate lots of memory (usually reaching 3+ GB) and failing if another query like this is executed. Any ideas on that, could this be locale

I''m sure I''m missing something completely obvious here, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction! I''ve implemented a basic search with AAF, which works as expected; I''m running a ferret drb server, and using will_paginate to page results. The code in my search_controller.rb: search_text = params[:query] || " " @products =

There are some questions for which I couldn''t find answers in the material I have read so far so I''d appreciate any help on these from the list. A bit of a background. My app will have 10,000 -

Hi all, We''re attempting to use Ferret with the DRb server at the moment, and it doesn''t work, at all... = Executive Summary The DRb server process keeps on calling the remote index to the DRb server process... Which means DRb is calling itself, and itself, and itself, until Ruby kills the Thread with a SystemStackLevel error. = The excruciating details... # Mongrel is

What is the best way to search a (possibly long) string of free-form text (like, say, an email) for occurrances of some set of key phrases of interest? Fuzzy or not; I''ll take what I can get. Thanks in advance! -- Sonia Lyris | slyris at gmail.com

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.

For most cases, I''ve got search working in Rails as follows: ## controller: term = params[:search][:term] @results = MyModel.find_by_contents "#{term}*" The ''*'' character is appended to the search term so that searches match anything that begins with ''term''. For the most part, this is great, but let''s say term is equal to
