I have a rails app that is going to be deployed across several servers. In my understanding of acts_as_ferret, the index files are kept in the index folder in the root of the rails app. This won''t work for multiple servers, of course, since all the servers will have their own directory tree. How are people using ferret for apps deployed on multiple servers? Could I run the index files

I seem to be having problems with getting my searcher to be consistent while indexing. I am running the latest version of ferret (0.10.13) and I am using the Searchable plugin. Currently the way it indexes is by using a callback in the model of either after_update or after_create to index the fields that I have setup to be indexed. Right now I update the index about once every 4 or 5

Hey .. The QueryParser RDoc page explains to me on how to search for a specific value in a specific field. This is not working the way i thought it should be, what am i doing wrong? Here''s an example .. I''m storing model data in the index like this: doc << Field.new( "object_id", object.id, Field::Store::YES) doc << Field.new( "type",

Hello all. Apologies... I was a little too eager in my earlier annoucement about the Indexed Search Engine for Rails apps. The DB migration file contained an error that had to be worked around. I''ve fixed that, added more (and clearer) documentation, and a sample application. You can find most everything you want to know about Indexed Search Engine here:

Hi, i''ve a project in wich i have 2 different rails apps accessing the same DB. The backoffice, as usual, changes data. The frontoffice has a search capabilities with acts_as_ferret (paginated) for search. Maybe this is a newbie question but, when i delete index and restart front app all the articles are indexed, but the new one''s (via backoffice) are not searchable. Does

Hi, i like to index most of my model fields, but limit the search only to a (changing) subset of this fields. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, So i''m trying to use acts_as_taggable with the acts_as_ferret plugin, where I have Post.rb model, which has a method tag_list made available through acts_as_taggable, as returns a string of associated tag words from the tags table (tag.rb). I''ve set up my Post.rb model in the following way. class Post < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_taggable acts_as_ferret

Hi I get a synchronize error (see below) when I run a lib script with script/runner. The script updates a status field in a model object that is indexed and searchable within the script/server (mongrel) process. $ script/runner -e production ''load "lib/billing/credit_subscribers.rb"'' /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/commands/runner.rb:27: IOError (IOError)

Hi, We have an index of around 1M web pages as part of our web app. The app uses ferret by way of RDig to perform searches. We have noticed anecdotally that some searches don''t work the way we thought they should, as if documents were missing from the index. Yesterday we came upon a concrete instance of this. Our documents have several fields, one of which is called :keywords and

PROBLEM I have two models, Blog and BlogComment. When a blog is initially created, it has no comments. Upon creation, the title and body are automatically added to the ferret index and directly searchable. However, when a comment is added to a blog, that comment does not get added to the index and is therefore not ferretable. The desired behavior is that when a comment is added to a blog, that the

Hi, Using ferret and acts_as_ferret. Great work. Is there a way to define some synonyms (searchable words that would not appear in the texts ? Like stop words, but instead of being removed from query and index, they would be added ;-) Can some synonyms be regexp ? I''d like for instance to have ? (oelig) be equivalent to oe in French. Or maybe an utf8 normalization could achieve

Hi, this is hopefully an easy one, but I''ve gone through the api and searched past forum entries, and am drawing a blank. I have a model that with acts_as_ferret mixed in to it, which is working fine. But I want users to be able to set a ''private'' attribute on the model, and when it''s set to true, create and update methods would skip indexing. So, how can 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. First of all I would like to say "thank you" to David for its really valuable work. Ferret is a great project and it have great future. Well now is my questions as beginner in Ferret. How to remove ALL documents from index. Remove files is not a solution. I am interesting in something like index.remove_index or something like this. What is a usual way of doing it?? What is the

I have found another crash in ferret; this one just uses a regular search. It''s similar to an issue reported by Matt Schnitz a while ago, but unlike his, mine does not go away if I turn off omit_norms. It does go away if I turn on the garbage collector more often, but I''m not sure that''s a stable workaround under the circumstances. This one isn''t a

Is there a searchable archive of this list? Did I overlook something obvious? I can find the archives, but short of downloading all the monthly gzips and building my own searchable database, it seems my only other option is to go month by month looking at subjects and hope to stumble on what I'm after. Does anyone maintain a public searchable version of the archives? I've got

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

I''m getting a segmentation fault on a large index (15GB). I''m running ferret 0.11.4 on OpenSuSE 10.2 with ruby 1.8.6. The segmentation fault appeared after I optimized the index, see further below for the error message I got before that. Ferret works perfectly on other (smaller) indexes. Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a workaround? --------------------- after

All, Another easy question. In Hpricot, on a doc that I am using, I can do a .to_html method and retrieve the entire page. However, this doesn''t seem to work in Mechanize. My goal is to the text of the page and put it into a database to make it searchable with ferret (using the acts_as_ferret plugin in Rails). Does anyone have a good suggestion short of iterating over the entire
