similar to: stop words in query

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 =

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, 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

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)

Hi! I wanted to build my own custom Analyzer like so: class Analyzer < Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer include Ferret::Analysis def initialize(stop_words = ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS) @stop_words = stop_words end def token_stream(field, string) StopFilter.new(LetterTokenizer.new(string, true), @stop_words) end end As one can easily spot, I essentially want

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

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

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

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

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

Hi again, I''m using ferret to index source code - DamageControl will allow users to search for text in source code. Currently I''m using the default index with no custom analyzer (I''m using the StandardAnalyzer). Do you have any recommendations about how to write an analyzer that will index source code in a more ''optimal'' way? I.e. disregard common

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

I''d like to get the following behavior: 1. Stemming. The search is on a database of summaries of California legal cases. Things like a search for "thermal image" needs to hit "thermal imaging." 2. Stop words. Searches for "failing to instruct the jury" should come up with hits on a search for "fail to instruct." 3. Case-insensitive. What I

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, 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

I''ve successfully installed ferret and acts_as_ferret and have no problem with utf-8 for accented characters. It returns correct results fot e.g. fran?ais. My problem is with non latin characters (Persian indeed). I have tested different locales with no success both on Debian and Mac. Any idea?

Is there anything about this analyzer that says "case-sensitive" to you? module Ferret::Analysis class StemmingAnalyzer def token_stream(field, text) StemFilter.new(StandardTokenizer.new(text)) end end end Just wondering how I can force my index to be case-insensitive. Thanks, -Adam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have looked at the documentation and done some searching, but I can''t seem to stop the STOP_WORDS from cutting out common words. I am using acts_as_ferret and I have add the following to my code: STOP_WORDS = [] acts_as_ferret({ :fields => { :name => { :boost => 10 }, :project_client_company_id => { :boost => 0

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
