Hi, I''m having difficulty getting the StemFilter and PhraseQuery to work properly together. When I use a StemFilter with a PhraseQuery, searches only work if the phrase consists of stems. For example, the search phrase "reduces health care" will not work but the phrase "reduce health care" will work even though the exact text "reduces health care" is

Hi, I m trying to use a custom analyser to add my french stop words... i m reading the tutorial at : http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/AdvancedUsage My problem is that i ve no idea where to put my custom Analyser class like : class GermanStemmingAnalyzer < Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer include Ferret::Analysis def initialize(stop_words = FULL_GERMAN_STOP_WORDS)

I''m sure I''m missing something completely obvious here, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction! I''ve implemented a basic search with AAF, which works as expected; I''m running a ferret drb server, and using will_paginate to page results. The code in my search_controller.rb: search_text = params[:query] || " " @products =

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

Today while compiling ferret I noticed there was a Portuguese stemmer being compiled. How do I enable it''s use for my index? Pedro.

Hello all, I am new to the list, but I have been using ferret for a little bit already. I would first like to thank Dave for all his work on ferret. I had a few questions that I haven''t been able to figure out after messing around with ferret and going through the documentation. StemFilter ------ I am trying to improve the quality of my searches in context of the content of my

Hello all, Quick question, I''m using AAF and the following custom analyzer: class StemmedAnalyzer < Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer include Ferret::Analysis def initialize(stop_words = ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS) @stop_words = stop_words end def token_stream(field, str) StemFilter.new(StopFilter.new(LowerCaseFilter.new(StandardTokenizer.new(str)), @stop_words)) end However when

Hello all, Quick question (possibly!) - I''ve got a few records indexed and doing a search for ''test'' reports in no hits even though I know the word ''tests'' exists in the indexed field. Doing a search for ''tests'' produces a result. I would have thought that ''test'' would match ''tests'' but no such

I''m not on AAF. Can someone else help Raymond with an example?

I''m using the custom stem analyzer: require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret module Ferret::Analysis class FerretAnalyzer def initialize(stop_words = FULL_ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS) @stop_words = stop_words end def token_stream(field, text) StemFilter.new(StopFilter.new(LowerCaseFilter.new(StandardTokenizer.new(text)),

Hi, Can Ferret be configured to change the minimum word length of what it indexes? Right now it seems to drop words 3 characters or less, but I''d like to include words going down to 2 characters. How would I do that? Francis

I''d like to make my own analyzer for stemming, but where do I put it or how do I reference it? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''ve successfully installed ferret and acts_as_ferret and have no problem with utf-8 for accented characters. It returns correct results fot e.g. fran?ais. My problem is with non latin characters (Persian indeed). I have tested different locales with no success both on Debian and Mac. Any idea?

Is there anything about this analyzer that says "case-sensitive" to you? module Ferret::Analysis class StemmingAnalyzer def token_stream(field, text) StemFilter.new(StandardTokenizer.new(text)) end end end Just wondering how I can force my index to be case-insensitive. Thanks, -Adam -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi! I wanted to build my own custom Analyzer like so: class Analyzer < Ferret::Analysis::Analyzer include Ferret::Analysis def initialize(stop_words = ENGLISH_STOP_WORDS) @stop_words = stop_words end def token_stream(field, string) StopFilter.new(LetterTokenizer.new(string, true), @stop_words) end end As one can easily spot, I essentially want

Hi again, I''m using ferret to index source code - DamageControl will allow users to search for text in source code. Currently I''m using the default index with no custom analyzer (I''m using the StandardAnalyzer). Do you have any recommendations about how to write an analyzer that will index source code in a more ''optimal'' way? I.e. disregard common

Hi, I just started using ferret and the aaf plugin and it seems to work quite nicely. However, my fields are very short (titles of music) and I don''t think may users will be typing in apostrophes when they are looking for something. Right now, for a simple document such as "what i''ve done" I''d like it to be indexed as "what ive done" instead. Right

Hi all I''m using a_a_f in rails with a StemmingAnalyzer, in the index and in my search. I got the idea from this topic: http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/80178 I''m having a problem with some search terms - i narrowed one of them down to the inclusion of the word ''fly''. Can anyone give me any clues at to what might be happening, or even how i can investigate?

My customers seem to expect that the world of search is dictated by Google. As such they expect all queries except phrase queries to include partial term hits. In other words, searching on "test" also returns "testing". Is there a quick option to enable this or anyway more elegant than gsub''ing the query to add asterisks around each term (except those in phrases of

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
