similar to: Limiting objects used in index (don''t show private data)

I''ve been reading through the lucene, ferret, and aaf docs, but I''m still a bit new at full text indexing. When I create a new instance of an indexed model, and save it, it doesn''t show up in searches. Should I have to update the index of the entire model (which works) before it will return in queries? Britt

Hi, I''m using DRb server, and sometimes it starts rebuilding the index for no - apparent - reason (no model nor DB schema change). As this blocks the computer for more that an hour, I must fix this problem before I put the system in production. Question: - how can I find WHY the server triggered an index rebuild? - how can I avoid it? Thanks in advance. Alain

Hi all, I''ve included a mysql ''text'' column in my index, and aaf/Ferret doesn''t use it when I search, UNLESS I specify it as a restrictor, and then it only searches in that field! For example: => 0 results are returned by a standard (__all__ fields ?) search >> Entity.find_by_contents "zixi" Query: zixi total hits: 0, results

is the list of indexed words readily available via aaf or directly from ferret? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Sorry in advance for the newbie question. Can''t get aaf going and can''t find similarly stuck folks on this forum. I''m running Rails on my local machine in development mode. I installed ferret 0.11.0 gem, and the most recent stable aaf plugin (as of today). I''m having trouble getting the most basic functionality working. In my model Recipe, I have:

Hi, I''m using Rails/AAF with Ferret 0.10.11, and my index occasionally (every few weeks, roughly) becomes corrupted. If the index is busted, until I rebuild it our users are unable to save anything. I get errors like the one below, and the save rolls back. My question is, is there any way to catch the error, and continue with the save even if the model isn''t indexed? What

The documentation states: "single_index: set this to true to let this class use a Ferret index that is shared by all classes having :single_index set to true. :store_class_name is set to true implicitly, as well as index_dir, so don?t bother setting these when using this option. the shared index will be located in index/<RAILS_ENV>/shared ."

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 all, I''m using AAF right now to index my ~3million db records. However, any additions to these records are added to the database through an external script so the aaf activerecord hooks will not catch any updates. Since new records are only added rarely, I figured I could just add the new records manually in ferret from some type of script. I''ve been looking at the

Ferret 0.10.11 & AAF: the time seems to be stored in a format that can''t be sorted, the order doesn''t make any sense. Workaround: use to_i on the Time object before putting it into the index. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am using AAF trunk, and I want a way to rebuild an index on a production site with little or no interruption to service. The Drb Server documentation* states that when an index is rebuilt, it is done in a separate location and then swapped into place when finished, and so to do a complete rebuild on a live site, one must take into consideration objects which have been created or

We all know that using ferret/aaf without the drb server is not thread-safe-- but why not? Would it be so hard to sacrifice performance by using a simple locking system? Very often I run into a situation where I want to quickly stage a project, and I want to use a few mongrels but don''t want to configure every last piece of the system, including the drb server. It would be nice

Got it all running nicely now for a few days but noticed something funny. I have a table were lots of records get added, deleted every day. I can see the added records being added by AAF to the index but I notices some "ghost" results when doing searches. The search returns record ID-s that do not exist anymore because they were deleted. Does AAF also remove entries from the index when

I''m trying to get all the documents in an index. I''ve been hunting around, but I don''t see a clear way to do this. I can get docs by searching on a term, or by specific doc id, but having trouble getting the whole pile of them. I''m using AAF and Ferret 0.11.4. Any help appreciated.

I''m finishing up a rails app that uses Ferret / AAF. I''m using shared hosting provided by railsplayground.com. My app is pretty small and is never going to get much traffic, so I''m going with the cheapest plan. Unfortunately, the cheapest plan doesn''t allow any static processes. I''ve read multiple recommendations to use a DRB server when using ferret

Hi, One of the AAF features is to be able to index results of methods, but I haven''t seen anywhere how to do this. I have a method that returns the full text of a file and I''d like for this to be indexed. Can anyone out there help me out on this one? Tom -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is there a way to tell Ferret (or AAF) to read an entire index into memory, for faster searching? I have small index (3-4 MB) that could be kept in memory. Or does Ferret do that automatically? Thanks, --Paul -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am looking at trying to use ferret/aaf to supplement my querying against a medium and large table with lots of columns. Some facts first: Ferret 0.11.4 AAF 0.4.0 Ruby 1.8.6 Rails 1.2.3 Medium table: 105,464 rows 168 columns (mostly varchar(20)) 11 actual columns indexed in aaf plus 40 virtual columns indexed in aaf (virtual is concat of two physical columns. e.g. cast_first_name_1 +

I''m having an odd problem with Ferret 0.9.5 and acts_as_ferret 0.2.3, on RedHat Linux Enterprise 4. All of my find_by_contents calls return 0 results. When I try Foo.rebuild_index via the console, it returns nil. This is happening on my production machine, during deployment of my app. Everything works perfectly on my development machine (Windows). I have no idea where to start

I''ve been running the super latest AAF plugin with a mongrel cluster/ferret_server combo smoothly for a few days in production mode, indexing 4 models with no surprises. Only now when I try including some new Models to be indexed, the ferret_server fails to index with ferret server error undefined method `_'' for Summary:Class (it creates the dir on index/production, tho) and
