similar to: find conditions in more_like_this

Hi, I''m using acts_as_ferret in my rails application and I''d like to use more_like_this to retrieve some ''similar'' item suggestions. I have a class ''items'' which has a status field and I need to retrieve items that only have one of the two possible statuses. Looking at the more_like_this method indicates it supports an :append_to_query

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have the following Problem: I created a fairly simple sample project to try out acts_as_ferret and present the results. The test set is relatively easy: I have extracts from 6 Wikipedia-Articles about several Topics, which are copied into a model that has two fields: title and text. This works quite well, until I try to use #more_like_this,

Hi all, using ferret 0.10.13 and aaf trunk, i cannot get more_like_this to work. I read other posts on this forum related to that, but that did not solve it. I have a model Question with a field question_text. I do: ----------------------------------------------- >> q = Question.find(:first) >> q.more_like_this NoMethodError: You have a nil object when you didn''t expect

Hi all, the current acts_as_ferret trunk is now ported to Ferret 0.10. Get it while it''s hot at svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/plugin Nearly everything works, besides this: - all queries are ORed (no way to tell the QueryParser to build AND queries by default) - more_like_this is broken I''m working with Dave to fix these things soon. The last Ferret 0.9.x

Dear list, I ''m using a text input field with autocompletion . The suggestions come from a ferret index which is created by getting all the terms belonging to other indices. Here is the code: class Suggestion attr_accessor :term def self.index(create) [Person, Project, Orgunit].each{|kl| terms = self.all_terms(kl) terms.each{|term| suggestion =

hi! short question about aaf: is there a builtin functionality in acts_as_ferret to exclude records from being indexed when for example a column "is_deleted" / "is_disabled" / "dont_index" has a certain value? regards neongrau -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

If I disable ferret in my environment file and then run a cron job every hour to index the records that have been added/changed, do I enable Ferret just in the script that does the hourly indexing? Or do I somehow need to tell the process that runs the Ferret DRB server that it should start writing to the index again? Thanks in advance. Erik

I am looking at trying to use ferret/aaf to supplement my querying against a medium and large table with lots of columns. Some facts first: Ferret 0.11.4 AAF 0.4.0 Ruby 1.8.6 Rails 1.2.3 Medium table: 105,464 rows 168 columns (mostly varchar(20)) 11 actual columns indexed in aaf plus 40 virtual columns indexed in aaf (virtual is concat of two physical columns. e.g. cast_first_name_1 +

Is there any way for the automatic ''rebuild_index'' of ''acts_as_ferret'' from exclude certain records from being included in the index? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''d like to be able to enable/disable the automatic indexing of documents acts_as_ferret does. Something like MyModel.disable_indexing MyModel.enable_indexing would be perfect. I need this because I do some indexing that requires visiting the parents of the model objects and my import method imports the children first, so the information isn''t there yet. I''d like to

Hi, I''m using acts_as_ferret in with a mongrel and I'' m getting locking errors that after a while result in a corrupt database. I know about the problem with different processes writing to the index but I haven''t been able to get the DRB server working properly yet. I read on this list that another solution is to set :auto_flush to true but I''m not

Hi, I have a has_many association between Book and Page. I have acts_as_ferret running on only the Book model. However, when I update the a page, it calls the auto update index on the Book model as well just in case any of the ferret fields were changed. How can I stop acts_as_ferret from auto updating the index on its own, especially when nothing changes? -- Posted via

Here''s what I''ve got: <% @fields.each do |field_name| %> <tr> <td> <%= field_name.humanize %> </td> <td> <% unless field_name =~ /_id$/ %> <%= form.text_field field_name, :size => 40 %> <% else %> <%= select(:vendor, field_name, State.find(:all, :order

The svn repository for acts_as_ferret has just been tagged with version 0.2.1. This is the first version of aaf to support the 0.9.x branch of Ferret. See http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki *Features* * High speed full text search across the contents of any Rails model class, without any hassles. The index will be kept up to date automagically while you work with your Rails

Hi- I was previously using 0.11.4, and I wrote my own analyzer. Everything worked fine. When I took the system to production, 0.11.4 starting failing updating the index, complaining that files were missing. The failure always happened on the same model document, and was completely reproducible. This failure looked a lot like the one described at http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/104145. I

I am getting this issue also... Does anyone know what this is? When will Acts as Ferret be available for v10? Thanks for your help in desperation!

I''m having some problems with getting the drb server to work correctly on my production server. As a workaround I tried disabling automatic indexing and have a cron job manually update the index every hour or so. I disabled the automatic indexing with: def ferret_enabled? false end But whenever I try Page.rebuild_index I get a ''wrong number of arguments''
