Hello All, Okay i think I''m finally getting all of what i want out of ferret working, thanks mostly to reading this forum and also getting ALOT of questions answered, thanks alot everyone. Anyway my last ferret task is too get the results sorted by a field called date_registered and have this working with pagination. here is what i''m doing at the moment:

I''m trying to sort my search results by Date, in descending order. I''ve done quite a bit of reading through the forums here, and I''ve tried two different suggestions. This just returns results in the same order as a search without a sort: sort_fields = [] sort_fields << Ferret::Search::SortField.new("ferret_created_at",:reverse => :true)

I''m just wondering where I would put the pagination for search results when using "acts_as_ferret". At the moment my search code is.. def search @query = params[:query] || '''' unless @query.blank? @results = Tutorial.find_by_contents @query end end Cheers SchmakO -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I have a user model that has a city field which is searchable using acts_as_ferret. But I can''t get it to return any result whether I use :city => {:store => :no, :index => :untokenized}, or :city => {:store => :no} in my User model''s acts_as_ferret option >>> User.find_by_contents("city:(cal poly)") =>

Hi, I have a max_results limit of 10, whatever value I pass to max_results, even if I drop this option in my class. Same limit using script/console Myclass.find_by_contents(query) Ideas ?

Hello, I am trying to make a search, using acts_as_ferret on a has_and_belongs_to_many relation : class a < ActiveRecord::Base belongs_to :b has_and_belongs_to_many :c Joboffer.find_by_contents( query +b_id:1 ) is working fine but Joboffer.find_by_contents( query +c:1 ) is not working Here are the tables descriptions: Table a have field : id, b_id Table b have field : id,

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

Hi, I have this maddening strange bug using acts_as_ferret. If I search for a given phrase (let''s say "xyz") I get one set of results (lets call them set A). I search for xyz again and I get set A again. I search for xyz a third time and I get a different set (set B). I can keep executing the search query and my result sets continue to cycle a-a-b-a-a-b-a-a-b. It''s

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had experience of extending AAF plugin for Rails to implement a broader query ? The documentation and the demo provided on the http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/ wiki seems to only match full text queries, or partial when using a * wildcard. Ideally, I am trying to acheive something similar to the following (pseudo code): def search @query

No, that search model is just a plain class that backs your search form. If you want to

I don''t know if this is a bug, or wanted behavior, but for me it was a pain in... So here''s the problem + a bugfix. Lets say you have a model "Article" with the following fields: title, visible - and these records [code]title, visible ferret talk, 1 ruby talk, 0 ruby on rails, 1 lets talk about ruby, 1[/code] If I let Article act as a ferret, and do: result =

Hello, I''ve installed the Ferret gem and also got the act_as_ferret code from the wiki.

Hi, guys: Strange search result with conditions in find_by_contents! first of all, i''ve installed the acts_as_ferret to my project vender folder by ''ruby script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret'' in my SearchController def searchforum if !params[:doSearch].nil? if params[:searchTerms].nil? || params[:searchTerms] ==

Hello, I''m using: Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 1.2.3, ferret 0.11.4, acts_as_ferret from svn stable. I''ve had quite a day wrestling with trying to remove the use of stopwords. The problem was that when searching for words like "no" or "the", no results were found. I found a confusing thing behavior that has taken me some time to figure out, and I hope sharing it

Hey all, I''m using acts_as_ferret this way: class Job < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :workers_name] def workers_name return self.workers.inject("") {|names,b| names + " " + b.first_name}.to_s end end But when I do Job.find_by_contents("workers_name:patrick") I get nil. Yet when I do: j=Job.find :first j.workers_name I do

Let''s say I have a class Job that has a series of possible locations that are stored as a sequence of foreign keys class Job acts_as_ferret { :locations => {} } def locations "1,25,23,15" # ?? end end Is that a good way to store the location ids? How would I search for Jobs in a certain location Job.find_by_contents(''locations(25)'') cheers

Am I missing something or would I need to use find_id_by_contents and populate a results list with my own objects (or add ''score'' to my AR instances and populate that) in order to be able to get a score out when iterating the results (like on a search results page)? Said another way, it seems find_by_contents does not provide any access to score in the resulting list. Is
