similar to: Adding dependant objects to an Index?

I''ve been trying to implement acts_as_ferret in my latest project and ran into a snag. If I do a search for ''auditor state'' then the search works perfectly. If I include a stop word, as in ''auditor of state'', then I get no results. I''d prefer not to set stop words to nil and index everything. The solution, that I have yet to attempt, is to use

I''m using acts_as_ferret to do a query like this: Model1.multi_search("my query",[Model2,Model3], :limit => 2) No matter what number i set limit to I get 10 items in the resultset. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks/David -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m trying to add a way to query across associations for a model in acts_as_ferret. Say I have a model A and it has a relationship with model B. Like say a Book has many pages. I want to search across the pages of the Book and produce a list of unique books who''s pages match the terms. So if I have a page that hits then I will add that book to my list of results. Right

No, that search model is just a plain class that backs your search form. If you want to

I am trying to use acts_as_ferret''s multi_search to search across multiple models, but i only want it to return one type of model. for example i have a page that lists out people. on this page it shows email addresses and phone numbers.

Hello, First the specs: ruby 1.8.6, rails 1.2.3, ferret 0.11.4, mongrel 1.0.1, mongrel_cluster 0.2.1 And the model''s aaf config: # Ferret search engine acts_as_ferret({:fields => {:name => {:boost => 10}, :summary => {:boost => 2}, :body => {:boost => 1, :store => :no},

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/.

Hello, I am trying to use the multi_search method, but I keep getting type error on nil objects, I send it [Model1,Model2] and it seems as though the class names keep getting clobbered and turn to nil, somewhere along the multi_index area. I tried to trace what was going on, but I got nothing, also, this only happens when there are actually hits(thank god, most of the time). Perhaps some insight?

Is it possible to sort the result of acts_as_ferret multi_search the way you can with find_contents? I''m using the latest ferret and aaf. I have an interface that offers multiple search options which search different fields of a single model. In addition to these, I also have an "all" search type which is meant to pull in one additional model and consider all indexed

I''m just wondering where I would put the pagination for search results when using "acts_as_ferret". At the moment my search code is.. def search @query = params[:query] || '''' unless @query.blank? @results = Tutorial.find_by_contents @query end end Cheers SchmakO -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I''m hoping someone has encountered this before. I''m using AAF trunk and trying to multi_search across 2 models. It works fine on my windows (Webricks) dev env but now that i''ve deployed to linux, (Apache, FastCGI) I''m getting the following error: ArgumentError ( isn''t a valid directory argument. You should use either a String or a Directory):

The first time I tried to run a multi_search, I got an error and discovered there were no indexes for any of the models. index > model folders were there but no actual indexes. I couldn''t figure out how to get it to create indexes so I edited a record for each model which created all the indexes. Then when I ran the search, everything worked well. Is there a bug related to this

Hi all, I want to use acts_as_ferret''s multi_search to search two model classes (Reviewable and Blog) at a time like @results = Reviewable.multi_search("jemen", [Blog]) and I''m always getting the error You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.map

Hey guys, I know I can run search(q).total_hits, but if I try to put :limit=>0 it gives me an error. I don''t want it actually query any of the results, I just want it to tell me how many total_hits I would have if I wanted to search it. How can I do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hello everyone, I''m using multi-search to search in some attributes of two classes. One of the attributes is the id of the customer. For each multi_search I want to do a give the id of the current customer as a parameter. This should only return results for the given customer. My current code looks like this: Folder.multi_search(@search_query, [Myfile]) I noticed in the API you can

Hi, I''m running the trunk version with drb server. In my ferret_server.log I get a lot of messages like this: #method_missing(:add, ["User", {:first_name=>"blah", :comments=>nil, :company=>"blah", :phone_day=>""}]) Over and over again. But more importantly, since yesterday doing a search has caused an exception: A NoMethodError

Hello folks, I have four models, each with their own separate index.

Hi, I just upgraded from acts_as_ferret 0.2/Ferret 0.9.x to acts_as_ferret 0.3/ferret .10.9, and i''m getting a strange behavior: searches are returning far too many results, most of them superflous. i''ll paste in my code below, it''s pretty simple. i''m googling like mad, and going through both the source and the forums, and having trouble finding what could
