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

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''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, I cannot make aaf (rev. 220) use my custom analyzer, despite following the indications @ http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/AdvancedUsage To pinpoint the problem, I created a model + a simple analyzer with 2 stop words : "fax" and "gsm". test 1 : model.rebuild_index + model.find_by_contents("fax") # fax is a stop word. => I get a

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, 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

Hi Guys I''m experiencing with AAF and Ferret with the intention of deploying into the site that I am working on now. So I setup AAF to index 3 fields that I have in this model and i tried doing a find_by_contents and it returned the #<FerretMixin::Acts::ARFerret::SearchResults:0xb74b5bec @total_hits=1157, @results=[#<Payprofile:0xb74cc39c @attributes={"add...... but it

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

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

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 faced some issue while using it for dynamic attrs indexing/search. Maybe I made something wrong. Here is test method. Everything works just fine until last line http://pastie.caboo.se/66274 . Tested on both stable and trunk of aaf and ferret 0.11.4. the short version of code below: Contact.acts_as_ferret :fields => [ :first_name ] assert

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

Hi, guys: Strange search result with conditions in find_by_contents! first of all, i''ve installed the acts_as_ferret to my project vender folder by ''ruby script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret'' in my SearchController def searchforum if !params[:doSearch].nil? if params[:searchTerms].nil? || params[:searchTerms] ==

Our ferret 0.10.13 index has been slowly growing on our debian server and has just got up over 14,000 records. Yesterday I randomly noticed that one search I did was suddenly giving whack, unexpected results. I have spent much time trying to track the problem. Tried ferret 0.10.9 - no change. Tried on a windows machine - where it works fine, and doesn''t give weird results (which just
