Hi, So i''m trying to use acts_as_taggable with the acts_as_ferret plugin, where I have Post.rb model, which has a method tag_list made available through acts_as_taggable, as returns a string of associated tag words from the tags table (tag.rb). I''ve set up my Post.rb model in the following way. class Post < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_taggable acts_as_ferret

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

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 need decide on if our site will go with Java or Ruby on Rails. The major factor is that does Farret support Lucene''s ChineseAnalyzer or CJKAnalyzer or not. Can anyboby shine some lights on Farret''s Chinese search support? Really appreciate. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello, I have a ferret index with 2 fields: Acts_as_ferret :fields => [:client, :content] If I do model.find_by_contents(query) I obtain all results by the query but I would like to obtain 3 results for each client. Any ideas? Thanks for all. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I may have run across a bug in Ferret: if throws a segmentation fault when I try to create a Sort object using the default fields (SCORE and DOC_ID), but setting reverse to true. Here''s the minimal example: #!/usr/bin/env ruby require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' Ferret::Search::Sort.new Ferret::Search::Sort.new( [

Hello, I''m a novice to ferret, so far only used it via acts_as_ferret. My question is about a recommended pattern for an ''advanced search'', which would be searching by all fields of a model and some fields from related models, with range search, expression search and wildcards. The kind of search in which a user is presented with a huge form that allows them to set

I seem to be getting the same document multiple times in my search results. I''m wondering if this is because by default a document is placed in the search results every time the word you''re looking for shows up. Is that the way it works? Thanks, Carl

Hi, I have this maddening strange bug using acts_as_ferret. If I search for a given phrase (let''s say "xyz") I get one set of results (lets call them set A). I search for xyz again and I get set A again. I search for xyz a third time and I get a different set (set B). I can keep executing the search query and my result sets continue to cycle a-a-b-a-a-b-a-a-b. It''s

I''m running from the trunk, and hitting road blocks no matter which way I attempt to search across multiple indexes. I tried a MultiSearcher, but I can''t pass a string for the search query ms.search "iraq" TypeError: wrong argument type String (expected Data) So I tried creating a QueryParser to pass, but I can''t get the fields from the reader

Hi folks. If I am indexing ModelA and ModelB and I want to search both of them, I usually just pick one arbitrarily and use it for #multi_search. Is there a slicker pattern, regarding from which model to invoke #multi_search? Can it be invoked directly from the Ferret library? Has anyone put together some sort of "dummy" search class? Thanks for any ideas. John

Hi, I''m using ferret and running into troubles with it seg faulting during searches. The index I''m searching is static and is only updated in an offline way once every couple weeks. The segfault isn''t deterministically reproducible, but if I hammer ferret hard enough I can reliably get it to crash. The problem seems to have something to do with how memory is shared

I tried sorting the search results in Ferret::Index::Index#search and what I found was that the sort is applied not to the whole search but to the returned results. Suppose I have these results: Text - Num foo - 2 bar - 3 far - 4 boo - 1 If I limit the search to the first two and sort by num I get: foo - 2 bar - 3 while I think the natural behaviour would be: boo - 1 foo - 2 Is this

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 =

Hello, I am exploring acts_as_ferret, and the first question that pops to mind is scoping, i.e. how to restrict searches in various ways. For example, I have a Post model with title, content, and user_id as attributes, and I want users to be able to search through their own posts only. Normally, of course, I would do Post.find(:all, :conditions=>["user_id=?", current_user],

Hi everyone, I''m pretty new to Lucene and Ferret, so I feel that this is most likely myself not completely understanding the correct way to do this. I haved indexed ~2200 text files (of various sizes), and I am now running searches on the index to get a feel for Lucene and Ferret. In my first program, which is using Lucene I search for ''influenza'' and get the

Hello Dave, Hello all, I''ve got this error because I try to search something and sort it by name : Argument Error occured at <except.c>:93 in xraise Error occured in sort.c:551 - field_cache_get_index Cannot sort by field "name".

I''m using ferret 0.10.14 in Linux Fedora 3. When I do highlight with Index::Index#highlight, it works well. But, doing the same test with Searcher#highlight, [BUG] Segmentation fault occurred. Here''s my test code. require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret::Search #searcher = Ferret::Index::Index.new(:path =>

I''m at a point where I''d like to start adding search capability to my app, so I thought I''d ask: Anyone have any recommendations for a good Rails search library/plugin/etc? There seem to be quite a few different ones out there, but I don''t have much context on any of them. What is the difference between using Ferret, or a SearchGenerator, SimpleSearch,
