Hello. I''m trying to use the ''acts_as_ferret'' gem with Rails. Rails: 1.1.4 and 1.2.3 OS: WinXP I''ve installed both Ferret and the plugin using Ruby Gems: C:\>gem install ferret Successfully installed ferret-0.11.4-mswin32 Installing ri documentation for ferret-0.11.4-mswin32...

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

I''m running Ferret 0.9.5 on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4.7) under Locomotive 2.0.7. I have a problem where Ferret is hanging when I try to add items to the index. It doesn''t happen with every object that''s being indexed, and I''m not sure what the objects in question have in common (they are not all instances of the same ActiveRecord object). The process

Hi Everyone, I''ve a RoR application. I am trying to build full text search capability into it. I installed Ferret. After that I installed the act_as_ferret plugin. I''ve also put the acts_as_ferret inside the <model>.rb file . I''m using the find_by_contents to get the search results. I''m getting the following error. I''ve no clue and I

We have an application that uses Ferret and acts_as_ferret that we just upgraded to Ferret 0.10.5 (from 0.9.5) and the corresponding version of the acts_as_ferret. Everything works as expected on my laptop, which is running mongrel 0.3.13.3. When I deploy the application on our server, which is running some version of Red Hat Linux, I can''t get Ferret to work at all when

Hi. We''ve had some problems with ferret not being able to load our classes (stack trace below for the curious). I nailed it down to a deployment issue, where an old instance of ferret drb was running. I don''t understand the details quite yet, but the result was the the old ferret was never shutdown during redeployment, and attempts were made to start up a new one. Anywho,

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

I''m switching all my fulltext searching over to ferret using the acts_as_ferret plugin on windows (for development, will be deployed on linux). In my tests I have a setup method as follows to ensure the index is reset for each test: def setup Item.rebuild_index end This works fine for the initial few tests but then suddenly fails for the last few tests when it seems to be failing

Hi, we are using ferret and acts_as_ferret in a single server setup. We have 2 models that use acts_as_ferret. We are running into problems where a create or update of the models cause a ferret error Ferret::FileNotFoundError occured at <except.c>:117 in xpop_context Error occured in fs_store.c:329 - fs_open_input Where the file that needs to be opened isn''t there.

Hi, I have installed the ferret gem (on WIN XP). My search and result view is working, but it comes back with empty results all the time. It seems like ferret is building the index (there is 3 binary files in the index directory). If I add the line: acts_as_ferret :fields => [''title'',''description'',''price'',''website_url'']

Hi, following the discussion about acts_as_ferret on the Rails mailinglist, there was an issue about transactions, which could result in beind the database and ferret out of sync. I have taken a different approach from acts_as_ferret trying to resolve the transaction problem. Instead of adding things to the ferret index in the model, I have added it in the controller. I have only the create part

Hi, I just upgraded from acts_as_ferret 0.2/Ferret 0.9.x to acts_as_ferret 0.3/ferret .10.9, and i''m getting a strange behavior: searches are returning far too many results, most of them superflous. i''ll paste in my code below, it''s pretty simple. i''m googling like mad, and going through both the source and the forums, and having trouble finding what could

Hi, had my local linux box setup and ferret was working like a champ via Webrick. However, when I moved to a different linux box using Apache web server, search no worky..giving the error listed below. The site itself comes up fine. I''ve tried deleting all the dirs under /index and restarted the webserver to see if re-indexing would help, but that made matters worse. Re-indexing

I''m trying to use the Ferret DRB server to avoid concurrency issues when using multiple mongrels. I can successfully add and edit data on my index via the DRB server, however, when I search the index, I get the following error: DRb::DRbConnError (DRb::DRbServerNotFound): /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1647:in `current_server'' /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/drb/drb.rb:1709:in

Hi, we''re using Ferret 0.10.11 with acts_as_ferret (stable from svn), on a unix box, running rails 1.1.6 in production. a few days ago i rebuilt the index (by deleting the previous one and letting acts_as_ferret do its thing), and it ran fine for a few days. this evening i got a seg fault when one of the indexes was being updated via aaf, and now all ferret searches are busted,

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
