Hi Guys I''m experiencing with AAF and Ferret with the intention of deploying into the site that I am working on now. So I setup AAF to index 3 fields that I have in this model and i tried doing a find_by_contents and it returned the #<FerretMixin::Acts::ARFerret::SearchResults:0xb74b5bec @total_hits=1157, @results=[#<Payprofile:0xb74cc39c @attributes={"add...... but it

Hi after upgrading to ferret 0.10.1 and bleeding edge aaf i''m getting some strange behavior. Generally much better stability with new version of ferret but when i add new items for some reason i can no longer search with a *. Or rather i can but it returns no results and no errors. I can search and get results normally on other searches and when i rebuild the index i can search with

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 having problems getting the DRb server running with the aaf gem. I tried it with the plugin installed in my application, and it worked. I suspect the problem has something to do with the startup scripts expecting certain files to be in certain relative file paths. Any insights are appreciated, and maybe if you have time you can update the wiki document :) Thanks for a great

Hi! Aaf trunk has undergone several major refactorings the last days, with the result that you can now transparently switch your app from local to remote indexing and back :-) If you plan to scale your app to more than one physical machine, or if you have problems with corrupted indexes and the like under high load, you really should give this a try. I wrote some documentation to get you

The documentation states: "single_index: set this to true to let this class use a Ferret index that is shared by all classes having :single_index set to true. :store_class_name is set to true implicitly, as well as index_dir, so don?t bother setting these when using this option. the shared index will be located in index/<RAILS_ENV>/shared ."

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 need to be able to count the occurences of certain terms in the reults. Currently my setup is Ferret 0.10.1 aaf bleeding edge. results = VoObject.find_by_contents(query,:offset=>page, :limit=> 20,:sort => sort_fields) I use results.total_hits for pagination. This all works really nicely. However i need to be able to know how many occurences of certain predefined terms occur

In my model Topic: acts_as_ferret({ :fields => {:username => {:store => :yes, :boost => 30}, :subject => {:store => :yes, :boost => 20}, :body => {:store => :yes, :boost => 10}}, :remote => true }, { :analyzer => Ferret::Analysis::RegExpAnalyzer.new(/./, false) }) def self.full_text_search(q, options = {}, find_options = {}) return nil if q.nil? or

I''m having problems sorting on untokenized fields. I have one field that sorts fine, but there are others that seem to sort on a different field. Here''s the index description: acts_as_ferret :remote=>true,:fields=>{:name=>{:boost=>2},:name_for_sort=>{:index => :untokenized}, :city=>{:boost=>2}, :city_for_sort=>{:index=>:untokenized},

Hello All, I am having an issue with AAF and sorting results of a search. Right now, I have results being split onto pages of 10. The results are being sorted alphabetically, but not across multiple pages - it''s just sorting the 10 it pulls down on each page. I noticed another post from April regarding this same issue (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/62993#66934) where the issue was

I was wondering if it was possible to determine which field caused the match to occur (or contributed the most to the score) in a search result. For example, if I had a record { :name => ''pumpkin'', :age => -5, :address => ''Via Mandriola'' } and I did a search for ''Mandriola'', is it possible for acts_as_ferret to tell me that the

Hi, I''ve been having a problem getting highlighting to work with aaf. I have a class defined as follows such: class Link < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => { :description => { :store => :yes } } end I get back the correct results when I do Link.find_by_contents, however, I''d like to highlight them. If I do something like iterate through the list of

I am using AAF trunk, and I want a way to rebuild an index on a production site with little or no interruption to service. The Drb Server documentation* states that when an index is rebuilt, it is done in a separate location and then swapped into place when finished, and so to do a complete rebuild on a live site, one must take into consideration objects which have been created or

This is important and may be affecting you if you use :select to minimize the columns you need on big queries. If you use :select to define which columns you need and you have not included all the columns you defined in the :acts_as_ferret field definitions you''ll clear the content of those fields on the ferret index. And that may corrupt your index. So, if you have in your model:

Hello guys, I''m pretty new to using AAF and am having a slight problem with using a condition. I have the following code @results = SupplierProduct.find_by_contents(params[:search], :conditions => [''area_id = ?'', @area]) and it seems the condition isn''t being applied. Does anyone have any pointers? Cheers, Alastair -- Posted via

I have an application which I''m running using Mongrel and Apache as described here http://www.napcs.com/howto/rails/deploy/. I have a model Person which I am attempting to use acts_as_ferret with. When I first try to do a search the index begins to get built but it its fails halfway through with the following error in the browser: === Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid

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

Hi, I had ferret working wonderfully but i am regretting doing a gem update today. I had alot of trouble first installing it and was really happy to have it working. The upgrade was from 0.3.1 to 0.4.0. The problem is; in the rails console, >> @results = Book.find_by_contents("peter pan") => #<ActsAsFerret::SearchResults:0x487040c @total_hits=0, @results=[]> Its indexing

Hi, Let me preface by saying I am very new to ferret and aaf. Anyhow, I''m using the aaf plugin on a model named Book. This model isnt a typical rails model in the fact that it doesnt have an "id" column as its primary key but instead has a string column named ISBN that is used as the primary key. When I try to search for anything in the model using find_by_contents it never
