Anyway my last ferret task is too get the results sorted by a field called date_registered and have this working with pagination. here is what i''m doing at the moment:

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

Hi i like the new version of ferret, has solved a few of my problems but i''m unsure of how to implement the following code in the new version of ferret? if section if !section.empty? qp = Ferret::QueryParser.new("section") query = qp.parse("\"#{section}\"") bq.add_query(query, Ferret::Search::BooleanClause::Occur::MUST) filter_on =true end

Hi I think this is a very easy question but here goes: I want to sort my results by a boolean field and then by score, I thought this would be a default configuration but apparently not. sort_fields = [] sort_fields << Ferret::Search::SortField.new(:sponsored, :reverse => :true) that is my current code, how do iu alter it so that the results are then sorted by highest score first?

Hi guys, Is there some way of getting ferret matches string, when i do a fuzzy search? The scenario is this: 1. The user search for ''show'' 2. Nothing was found 3.

I''m wondering if someone can point me in a direction to monitor the ferret drb server while using cacti. Is it possible to run multiple instances of ferret drb on the same machine, just on different ports? Will it still update the index properly, or will you get collision? New to moving over to the drb server. Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Okay in this plea for help I''m going to repeat some of what i posted before but with a larger amount of background info in the hope that i can get a decent grip on ferret before it wriggles away.. Firstly, what does installing the acts_as_ferret plugin actually do? I install it and add it to my model and then the index is automatically generated and a few methods are added to it and

I have a site with two indexes. Index A is created offline by RDig and queried from the web via RDig (specifically, RDig.searcher.search). Index B is managed by AAF with :remote => true. Simple enough. However, I need to query both indexes from RDig. Usually this is ok, as I modified RDig to accept an array of search_paths with an element for index A and index B. However, when Index

Hi how do you search against the results returned by find_by_contents using ferret? i.e. how do you "search within these results"? This is an acts_as_ferret question again... thanks in advance.. cheers caspar -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

hi, i am trying to grasp some concepts about mongrel, rails, and backgroundrb on how they all work in terms of threads and such. is there a book about distributed ruby and processes? i havent seen any on amazon yet... from my blog reading, i have some questions.... rails can handle 1 request at a time and can buffer to a certain extent? when mongrel instances are created, a copy of the rails

I just started using Ferret and I successfully indexed some documents. I can search this index using the following code: index = Index::Index.new(:path => path) index.search_each("something") do |doc, score| print "##{doc} #{index[doc][''url'']} - #{score}" print "\n" end However, when I try to use Search::Searcher and QueryParser

Hello, Lets say you have a few models like Post, Article, Wiki, Comment, And you want to use ferret to search all of them at once. How would I set up the latest acts_as_ferret to accomplish this? And what would be fastest for searches? 1 index for all models, or have an index per model? Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, Using aaf to search pages, I wanted to present excerpts from the texts even when more than one term was used in the search. I came to some results, despite the difficulty caused by Unicode+ruby. The last problem I''m faced is to get the query words, without the logical articulation chars if any. Is there a clean way to get them ? -- Jean-Christophe Michel

Hi, I am unable to use the Searcher''s explain method. Anytime I call it, I get Segmentation Faults and it kills the process I have running my Rails site. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hi I''m using the acts_as_ferret to index one table in my database. The table contains formation about listed items and each of these items belongs to a section and a category. On the results page I want to have two drop down boxes whose contents are populated depeneding on the returned results. So for example the section drop down should only show sections that exist in the result set,

I would query the whole result set first, then move my friends to the top, but the thing is, Im paginating my results and use the offset and limit parameters in the multi_search() function. Anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance... -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

If searching multiple indexes with a single searcher is there anyway to identify which index a resulting doc is stored in? i1 = Ferret::I.new i2 = Ferret::I.new i1 << {:id=>1,:text=>"random stuff"} i1.commit reader = Ferret::Index::IndexReader.new([i1.options[:dir],i2.options[:dir]]) searcher = Ferret::Index::IndexSearcher.new(reader) query =
