Hello. I''m the author of DataMapper (http://datamapper.org), and am trying to choose what Full-Text-Indexing engine/plugin I want to include by default. I was hoping you guys could help. :-) Sphinx comes highly recommended, but without live index updates, it just doesn''t seem practical for most of my work. I''m most experienced with Solr, but the whole HTTP::Request and

I found it quite fun to generate index by ferret. However, I had to use lucene now. Can I use the index that I''ve already done by ferret? ps. Lucene 2.2.0 vs Ferret 0.11.4 Thx! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Ok, first up, I''m a Rails newbie. My site is hosted on godaddy.com Godaddy has the Ferret GEM installed by default. They do not have acts_as_ferret installed so I can''t use that. I''m trying to follow the tutorial on the Ferret wiki http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki It includes all of the code I need, but it doesn''t tell

Hi, I need to map words in a document back to there original word id''s in my database. For example, if I had the sentence "I eat food" and I was searching for "food" I would obviously get the document back as a result. For my particular problem I need to not only get the document id but also the id of the match. Suppose my original sentence was actually

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

I am unable to find results for models when one or more of the terms are not being indexed. Lets suppose I index a User on the phrase "Ruby on Rails." If I then search using User.find_by_contents("Ruby on Rails") I get no results, since "or" is a common term and does not get indexed. Of course, User.find_by_contents("Ruby Rails") works just fine. I

Hey folks, I''ve added a smoke test script to Ferret. It is named smoke_test.rb and it can be found in the base of the working directory. So what are you supposed to do with it you ask? Well, if you want to help keep Ferret working on your system of choice then set up a cron task to run this script regularly. What the script does is call `svn update` to get the latest working revision.

Hi All, As some of you may have noticed, the Ferret Wiki has been getting spammed like crazy. And I haven''t been able to do anything about it because I just don''t have the time. I''m getting pretty close to releasing 0.10.0 which has been the major draw on my time for the last couple of months so I''m going to have some time to look into this soon. I was

Hey.. i am just browsing through the lucene features and i''m wondering if this feature is available in ferret as well .. # multiple-index searching with merged results this would be nice, as i''m thinking about several indexes, as i am using a lot of wildcard queries for livesearches like google suggest. i think the performance would increase, if i split my rather big index in

Hi. We use FerretDrb for search. If the ferret process is down, our entire application comes down the moment we try to save a model which is indexed. Is there a way to decouple this relationship such that we can somehow resume normal operations despite ferret being down and not index the model? Thanks. Morten

Hi, I''ve discovered ferret and aaf this evening, I''ve just done some tests and it seems perfect for my needs. I''m indexing text data (title, description, etc) and also ethernet hardware addresses (MAC). Sorry if that sounds trivial but I can''t find the way to correctly index and achieve correct searches on MAC addresses. If I do something like this: index =

Hi Dave, I''ve been getting some segment faults while running my tests using 0.10.14 gem so I decided to package the gem locally to add -dH and generate core dumps for you. So I followed instructions here http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/DownloadCurrent and first off ran the tests. I''m getting the following failures. (see this pastie http://pastie.caboo.se/34790). I

Hi all, i have model A which has a field indexed from model B. model A belongs to model B. So whenever i insert a row in model ''A'', a query is fired to the field from model ''B'' even though the data was not changed for the field in model B. Can i somehow avoid these extra queries,or rather query the data and index it,only if the data has been changed>? e.g

Hi ferreters: I''ve already posted this in rails, but someone there suggested this would be better. I''m getting a ferret error when I try to delete any item that has been previously indexed. I just installed ferret, so the indexes aren''t big or anything. What I''m trying to do is to just delete an item on a table that has been index. Here''s the error

Hi guys, Having committed a fairly large project to ferret I''m a little concerned that ferret svn has been essentially unavailable for weeks (pretty much every time I try I get "can''t connect") and more so now that davebalmain.com has gone off the air. Without meaning to pry, does anyone know whether existing problems in ferret are likely to get fixed? (I can get

Hi Folks, I''ve just released version 0.9.0. This latest version of Ferret is an alpha release. I have removed the old c extension and Ferret is now running on a fully ported C library. This has allowed some huge performance improvements both with regard to memory and CPU usage. There will probably be a few portability issues to start with. It has been developed on Linux so it should
