Hi all I''m using a_a_f in rails with a StemmingAnalyzer, in the index and in my search. I got the idea from this topic: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/80178 I''m having a problem with some search terms - i narrowed one of them down to the inclusion of the word ''fly''. Can anyone give me any clues at to what might be happening, or even how i can investigate?

Hi, I m trying to use a custom analyser to add my french stop words... i m reading the tutorial at : http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/AdvancedUsage My problem is that i ve no idea where to put my custom Analyser class like : class GermanStemmingAnalyzer < Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer include Ferret::Analysis def initialize(stop_words = FULL_GERMAN_STOP_WORDS)

Hello all, Quick question, I''m using AAF and the following custom analyzer: class StemmedAnalyzer < Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer include Ferret::Analysis def initialize(stop_words = ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS) @stop_words = stop_words end def token_stream(field, str) StemFilter.new(StopFilter.new(LowerCaseFilter.new(StandardTokenizer.new(str)), @stop_words)) end However when

Hello all, Quick question (possibly!) - I''ve got a few records indexed and doing a search for ''test'' reports in no hits even though I know the word ''tests'' exists in the indexed field. Doing a search for ''tests'' produces a result. I would have thought that ''test'' would match ''tests'' but no such

I''m using the custom stem analyzer: require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret module Ferret::Analysis class FerretAnalyzer def initialize(stop_words = FULL_ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS) @stop_words = stop_words end def token_stream(field, text) StemFilter.new(StopFilter.new(LowerCaseFilter.new(StandardTokenizer.new(text)),

Hi all, I am trying to implement a search that will use the Stem Analyzer. I added the Stem Anaylzer from the examples shown in another post http://ruby-forum.com/topic/80178#147014 module Ferret::Analysis class StemmingAnalyzer def token_stream(field, text) StemFilter.new(StandardTokenizer.new(text)) end end end The problem with the Stem analyzer is that when I search for a

I''m sure I''m missing something completely obvious here, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction! I''ve implemented a basic search with AAF, which works as expected; I''m running a ferret drb server, and using will_paginate to page results. The code in my search_controller.rb: search_text = params[:query] || " " @products =

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

Hello, I''m trying to define my own analyzer by doing something like: #----------------------------------------------------- require ''ferret'' include Ferret class MyAnalyzer < Analysis::Analyzer def token_stream(field, str) # Display results of analysis puts ''Analyzing: field:%s str:%s'' % [field, str] t =

Hi, I''m having difficulty getting the StemFilter and PhraseQuery to work properly together. When I use a StemFilter with a PhraseQuery, searches only work if the phrase consists of stems. For example, the search phrase "reduces health care" will not work but the phrase "reduce health care" will work even though the exact text "reduces health care" is

Hello all, I am new to the list, but I have been using ferret for a little bit already. I would first like to thank Dave for all his work on ferret. I had a few questions that I haven''t been able to figure out after messing around with ferret and going through the documentation. StemFilter ------ I am trying to improve the quality of my searches in context of the content of my

I''m not on AAF. Can someone else help Raymond with an example?

Hi everyone. First a quick word - I am relatively new to Ruby and Ruby on Rails, but I love learning about it and using it. Currently I am working on extending Boxroom (file repository RoR app) for the CARE Indonsia intranet, where I work as an intern. I am using ferret, and it''s working great. I noticed that if a file contains something like this "applications/entries", this

Hi, I just started using ferret and the aaf plugin and it seems to work quite nicely. However, my fields are very short (titles of music) and I don''t think may users will be typing in apostrophes when they are looking for something. Right now, for a simple document such as "what i''ve done" I''d like it to be indexed as "what ive done" instead. Right

Not sure how much this will interest people but I don''t have a blog so I''m posting something I threw together today cause I think it might be useful. In what little free time I have I''ve been wanting to put together a Rails/Ferret based restful dictionary. So I finally got a chance to get started today so the first thing I wanted to do was implement a metaphone

Today while compiling ferret I noticed there was a Portuguese stemmer being compiled. How do I enable it''s use for my index? Pedro.

Hello, I want to clean up accented characters in my index, using acts_as_ferret in a Rails project. I searched this forum, and found the best solution is to use an analyser. I created somthing like this: class PortugueseAnalyzer include Ferret::Analysis MAPPING = {

According to the Analyzer doc and the StandardTokenizer doc: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Analysis/Analyzer.html http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Analysis/StandardTokenizer.html I ought to be able to construct a StandardTokenizer like this: t = StandardTokenizer.new( true) # true to downcase tokens and then later: stream = token_stream(

I created this analyzer: class DescriptionAnalyzer < Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer def token_stream(field, string) if field == "code" return CodeTokenStream.new(string) else return Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer.new.token_stream(field,string) end end end and created an IndexWriter with it: Ferret::Index::IndexWriter.new(get_index_path,

Hi, I''ve implemented synonym searching in my rails application but have an idea I''d like to implement but can''t figure out how to do. The idea is that I''d like to give the end user the choice on whether to search for the synonym of a word or not. Preferably by extending the query language to parse a construct similar to ''%word1'' and
