Hi again, fields() method of Ferret::Index::LazyDoc return an array of integer (maybe the integer of the symbol? I don''t know) instead of symbols as explained in the doc : http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api_0.10.0/classes/Ferret/Index/LazyDoc.html#M000042 Any ideas ? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am new to ferret and am just reading about it in the O''reilly shortcuts as well as other web resources. My app is a Rails app and so I am looking into acts_as_ferret as well. There are some questions for which I couldn''t find answers in the material I have read so far so I''d appreciate any help on these from the list. A bit of a background. My app will have 10,000 -

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

Hi, in a production environment we are running into "MySQL server has gone away" errors (see below) when we call rebuild_index in aaf. This happens sporadically. Any suggestions for what might be wrong or workarounds? I guess we try a reconnect before we call rebuild_index?

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

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

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

Hello everyone, we''ve recently discovered a memory leak in the PerFieldAnalyzer. If you use the PerFieldAnalyzer (which you acutally should), you should switch to a pure ruby version of that analyzer. The C version of the Analyzer is consuming memory on every analyzing request. You can find an example script to verify the leak[1]. Furthermore we''ve added a workaround, building

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.

Hey all, I''m distributing requests to a small farm of Ferret servers across the network using DRb. In a specific part of my program, I''m trying to find an entry across servers, and for that, I''m using index[''example_doc_id''].load as the return value of the function in question. This returns a Ferret::Index::LazyDoc, which is all fine and dandy,

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.

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
