Hi, I have a user model that has a city field which is searchable using acts_as_ferret. But I can''t get it to return any result whether I use :city => {:store => :no, :index => :untokenized}, or :city => {:store => :no} in my User model''s acts_as_ferret option >>> User.find_by_contents("city:(cal poly)") =>

Hi, I use ruby console to experiment acts_as_ferret, but I ran into file rename error when I try to rebuild index after doing a search. is this normal? I am using Ferret 0.10.9 in windows XP. Loading development environment. >> Address.rebuild_index => {} >> Address.find_by_contents(''US'') => #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0x4f2ffcc @total_hits=2,

Hi, I''ve got a question about FuzzyQueries. Say I''m doing a search for people by name, and I want to allow fuzzy results if there aren''t enough hits with a regular query. This is easy enough; just redo the search with the fuzzy query if original_results.total_hits is less than some threshold. However, I would like the exact-match results to have a higher score

Hi, I have configured my model as follows: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => [:description,:label_description,:label_free,:product_id_supplier,:description_supplier,:supplier_description] belongs_to :supplier def supplier_description return "#{self.supplier.description}" end In the development log I can see the supplier_description

Hi, I just started experimenting with acts_as_ferret. It''s working great if I''m searching through database fields through a setup like: acts_as_ferret :fields => [''title''] Page.find_by_contents(''Blue'') But if I try searching through an instance method, I get no results back. Anybody know why? acts_as_ferret :fields =>

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

Hi, it looks like Ferret still compares numeric fields by lexical ordering, not numerical ordering. I am using Ferret 0.11.4(I tried in both linux and windows, the results are the same). index = Ferret::Index::Index.new() docs = [ {:num => 1, :data => "yes"}, {:num => 1, :data => "no"}, {:num => 10, :data => "yes"}, {:num => 10, :data

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. The problem is; in the rails console, >> @results = Book.find_by_contents("peter pan") => #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0x487040c @total_hits=0, @results=[]> Its indexing

Is there any way you could get the number of occurrences of the search in one hit? In a result I get the ferret_rank and ferret_score but not how many hits the search generated in the current record. I would also like to be able to sort after this when I search. /mattias -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a model that allows subclasses to dynamically define fields. The following code is a short test case that illustrates the problem I''m having: class Product < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => [:name] serialize :data def self.data_properties (*properties) properties.each do |property| define_method(property) {self.get_property(property)}

Hi, I have a user model that has a couple of other models(like street address, tasks). suppose User has a name field Address has a state field. so I want to provide a detailed search form each field in the user and its related models can be specified.

Hi Guys I''m experiencing with AAF and Ferret with the intention of deploying into the site that I am working on now.

Hi, I''m trying to get parallelized ferret indexing working for my AAF indices, based on the example in the O''Reilly Ferret shortcut. However, the resulting indices after merging seem to have no actual documents. I went and made minimal changes to the example in the Ferret shortcut pdf, and indeed can''t get that to work either. I''d appreciate any help

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

I started using robotcoop''s CachedModel class in my project but have encountered problems when using it with the acts_as_ferret plugin. It seems it doesn''t index everything in my STI model, also if I do a search from my base STI class I get a result count but no results. If I run the same search from one of the children STI models I get the appropriate results (if the information

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
