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

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/.

So my ferret behaves nicely in dev mode, but I just deployed and now he is not happy!

Hi I think this is a very easy question but here goes: I want to sort my results by a boolean field and then by score, I thought this would be a default configuration but apparently not. sort_fields = [] sort_fields << Ferret::Search::SortField.new(:sponsored, :reverse => :true) that is my current code, how do iu alter it so that the results are then sorted by highest score first?

I''m using AAF to search through an AR model, with fields from associated tables included through helper methods in the AR class.

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!

I wrote some documentation to get you
