similar to: How to store Ferret index in DB using acts_as_ferret ?

We''re running Ferret and acts_as_ferret in our production environment. We have multiple mongrels talking to a single index on a separate (virtual) server over DRb. This is working ok for now, as our index updates are fairly infrequent. I''m concerned with the lack of rendundancy/scalability in this layout. Our index won''t get too big - maybe 100k indexed objects, each no

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

Hello, I want to make a TAG CLOUD using ferret. How can i do so ? I would need to know the amount of keyword for every each words in the index. Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m having an odd problem with Ferret 0.9.5 and acts_as_ferret 0.2.3, on RedHat Linux Enterprise 4. All of my find_by_contents calls return 0 results. When I try Foo.rebuild_index via the console, it returns nil. This is happening on my production machine, during deployment of my app. Everything works perfectly on my development machine (Windows). I have no idea where to start

Hi all, I upgraded from Ferret 0.11.3 to Ferret 0.11.4 because I was getting intermittent segfaults that seemed to be due to a bug which was fixed (changeset 749). Unfortunately, 0.11.4 + acts_as_ferret seems to be a bad combination. I''m getting the some "fs_store/File Not Found Error occured at <except.c>:117" which was reported in the "Constant 0.11.4

hello, I am actually indexing thousands of 1ko text documents using ferret and acts_as_ferret, and i face performance problems. I takes me hours to index 20 000 1ko text documents. Methology used : I create and object, fulfill it with the text, and save it. So it is automaticly indexed. Is there a way to make it faster ? ( remove the auto optimize option somewhere ?) Thank you if you have any

I''m fairly new to ferret / aaf and finding it much easier to use than HyperEstraier (which I migrated from). However, I am getting a few errors and I need to figure out if they''re problems with my usage of ferret or a bug I should report. I''m currently running Ferret 0.10.11 with acts_as_ferret (latest via svn external) and 3 times today I''ve seen the

Has anyone deployed ferret & act_as_ferret to a load balanced multiple server environment? If so, did you simply use a shared network index? I have a couple of ideas on how to deploy - but each have shortcomings and I''m hoping to find out if anyone else has deployed ferret in this manner. The application is simply load balanced between multiple servers running the same app for

Hi, There is a problem with the way that acts_as_ferret verifies the index is valid. In ensure_index_exists it looks for a file named ''segments''. With the 0.11.0 release of ferret there is no file with this name. On my dummy application I have a ''segments.gen'' and ''segments_2y''. Changing the test to segments.gen fixes the problem that the

Hey, Has anyone managed to bypass or fix the ferret''s .dump method problem? When I include acts_as_ferret my whole rails app just blows up because of Ferret''s .dump method. Ex: --- print "\t hello".dump >> "\t hello">Exit code: 0 --- --- require ''ferret'' print "\t hello".dump >> " hello"(NUL

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!

Hi, I''m trying to get the acts_as_ferret plugin to work with my rails application, but it barfs with this error: No such file or directory - ./index/development/Book/segments I have existing data in my database, but it was added prior to me using the ferret plugin. How do I get it to index that data, or when does it index that data? Charlie -- Posted via

Has anyone else found that using ferret''s highlighting slows searches down significantly? I am seeing that it more than doubles the search time on my system. I am returning up to 500 results at once, so the slow down is quite noticeable (probably adding about .7 seconds for searches with large result sets.) --Paul -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

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,

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''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

hello, I am using acts_as_ferret, and i got a strange behavior. Object creation and search is working fine. But, if i update an object, it seems to deseaper from the index... So, in order to debug, i want to see what is inside the ferret index in real time. Is there a way to do so ? Thks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey all, How can I search date with ferret? Do I need to submit them in a special format? Right now I have in my Item model: acts_as_ferret :fields => [:created_on] with eg created_on = Thu May 11 17:00:00 -0500 2006 now when I do Item.find_by_content("created_on:<#{Time.now}") I get nil, I''m probably doing something wrong. Any idea how to fix it? thanx in advance
