Hey guys, Now that the Lucy[1] project has Apache approval and is about to begin, the onus is no longer on Ferret to strive for Lucene compatability. (We''ll be doing that in Lucy). So I''m starting to think about ways to improve Ferret''s API. The first part that needs to be improved is the Document API. It''s annoying having to type all the attributes to

Hi All, Hope all is going well. Was just wondering if anyone has implemented a grep style output page of hits using Ferret as the index/query engine? Any thoughts about how best to implement it? The previous thread discussess highlighting - would that be the best approach to follow or is there a better way? Cheers, Marcus -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi there, What''s the current status of the Windows port? I may be in a position to lend a hand over the next couple of weeks - where should I start looking? And what''s the best way to get SVN HEAD? This happens: $ svn checkout svn://www.davebalmain.com/ferret/trunk ferret svn: Can''t connect to host ''www.davebalmain.com'': Connection refused --

Hi List, I''ve took some time and made some tests on the performance of java-lucene, hyperestraier and ferret as Dave encourages the community of ferret to do so. Quite intersting numbers. Ferret indeed deserves to be called a high-performance port!! It''s MyFirstBenchmark ( http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/MyFirstBenchmark ) so please don''t be too cruel on

Hi, >From looking at Ruby sources it seems that every update method deletes and reinserts documents. It makes sense if indexed fields are changed but what if it is not the case? It would speed up update a lot indexes did not have to be updated twice for nothing. Any quick way to do it? -- Sergei Serdyuk Red Leaf Software LLC web: http://redleafsoft.com -- Posted via

Hi all, Having problems trying to get Ferret to read an index generated by Lucene. Am I right in thinking Ferret should be able to read a Lucene generated index no problem? Using the code snippets detailed in http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/64099#new Any advice gratefully received. Many Thanks, Steven -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi Everyone, I''m using Ferret 0.10.11 with acts_as_ferret from SVN (same results with 0.10.10 and 0.10.9 though). I''m running into an odd problem where the scores of my top-ranking search results are ridiculously small - even when the query is one that should match at least one document with a decent score. To give an example, I have just the names of 5 businesses indexed

Hi, We''re using Ferret 0.9.4 and we''ve observed the following behavior. Searching for ''fieldname: foo and bar'' works fine while ''fieldname: "foo and bar"'' doesn''t return any results. Is there a way to make ferret recognize the ''and'' inside the query as a search term and not an operator? (I hope I got the

Hey, Luke doesn''t seem to be able to open a Ferret index I''ve created. Is this expected? If yes, can someone recommend another index inspection tool? Thanks, John

I''m getting some results that I don''t understand from a search. The code, based on the tutorial, and the results are below. Everything makes sense to me, except the results for the ''title:"Some"'' query. I would think that it should match the first two documents, but not the third. What am I missing here? Thanks for any help! --- code

Hey folks, I''m off to Vietnam for a week on my way home to Australia so I''ll be off the list for a while. Don''t think I''m ignoring you. When I get back I intend to aggressively hunt down the segfault problem that some of you are having in Ferret so that problem will soon be ancient history. If anyone can narrow down a test case that can consistently segfault it

Hi, I''m having some strange/random crashes with ferret when using different programs on the same index. I created a script to reproduce the errors: http://www.sig11.org/~seb/ferret_crash.rb Usage: In one terminal run: ruby ferret_crash.rb first In another terminal: ruby ferret_crash.rb Errors I usually get are but it is really random:

Hi German users, Can one of you guys give me a German Phrase that I can use to demonstrate tokenizing non-ascii text. Preferably something about 40 bytes long with lots of umlauts and perhaps a ?. Cheers, Dave

Hey folks, A lot of confusion has been caused by having stop-words filtered by the default analyzer. There have been a few suggestions to remove this feature so I thought I''d put it to a vote. Making this change would not be backwards compatible and would require users to either rebuild their indexes or change their code to keep the same stop-words settings. However, it would save a lot

Exactly - I tried to make aaf a bit more clever by letting it assume :limit

Hey all, I''m back. Some of you are probably thinking that is the longest weeks vacation on record. Well, I''d like to take this opportunity to apologise for my absence and offer a brief explanation. When I got back to Australia I naturally went home to visit my parents, only to find that they have been hit really hard by the drought. They didn''t really tell me just how

Dave and all, I run a medium RoR app using Ferret and acts_as_ferret. I get a lot of lock errors. Not always but around 5% of all searches (aspecially during peak periods). Here are the messages I get: A NameError occurred in szukaj#index: uninitialized constant Ferret::Index::Index::LockError [RAILS_ROOT]/vendor/rails/activesupport/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:478:in

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

Hi - I upgraded to Ferret 0.11.3 from 0.10.13. I used to index 10,000 records in 10 secs. Now it takes 13 minutes. (That''s a factor of ~75x) Did something change in the flush semantics, or something? Thanks! Schnitz -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
