Hi, I have an index where each document contains an untokenized ''url'' field. I would like to query the index for the most popular urls. In SQL I would do this via a Group By clause.

Hi, >From looking at Ruby sources it seems that every update method deletes and reinserts documents. It makes sense if indexed fields are changed but what if it is not the case?

Dear all, It seems there''s a sort bug with ferret 0.10.9 on Debian. I sort the search results by a field which can contain null values. The string sort type doesn''t work.

Hello, I upgraded to ferret 0.10.10 and I noticed a strange behaviour with queries. Now the queries return strange results. For example, the two following queries return the same results: familynames|firstnames:andre familynames|firstnames:andr Another example, the first query returns a correct result + incoherent results, the second query returns only the correct result:

Is there a decent way to add a field to a form before posting it? I haven''t tried using HPricot manipulations just yet, since I can''t ever find really solid docs on hpricot.... Form#[]= doesn''t work because it first searches only pre-existing fields. I''m investigating how to write a patch now. But I thought maybe someone here might have an idea.

I''m trying to get a collection_select generated Drop-down box to display two fields from a table (first name & last name); however, I am having trouble concatenating the symbols.

Hello everyone. Since I''ve found very poor documentation about the rails FCKEditor plug-in and Easy-FCKEditor (which is a fork of the very same plug-in), I decided to bother you with my noobish questions.
