Hi, it looks like Ferret still compares numeric fields by lexical ordering, not numerical ordering. I am using Ferret 0.11.4(I tried in both linux and windows, the results are the same). index = Ferret::Index::Index.new() docs = [ {:num => 1, :data => "yes"}, {:num => 1, :data => "no"}, {:num => 10, :data => "yes"}, {:num => 10, :data

Hi, I''m trying to get parallelized ferret indexing working for my AAF indices, based on the example in the O''Reilly Ferret shortcut. However, the resulting indices after merging seem to have no actual documents. I went and made minimal changes to the example in the Ferret shortcut pdf, and indeed can''t get that to work either. I''d appreciate any help

I can consistently segfault the 0.10.4 gem, so I''m trying to get the subversion version working with hopes towards tracking the problem down. I have a fresh SVN checkout but: a) the version (in ferret.rb) claims to be 0.9.6; and b) Ferret::Index::FieldInfos and a couple other classes are missing at run time. It looks like this is because they''re not exported in the C

Sorry if this has been beaten to death here but I couldn''t find the exact answer I was looking for. In the app I''m writing, we convert the score to a percentage and display it with the search results. The problem is when you search for an exact phrase (for example) and it matches the title of a document exactly, you only get a 17% match. Has anyone seen a way to either curve

Hi, Using the 0.10.4 gem under ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i686-linux], I get different results with a TermQuery and a search string. Namely, using a search string seems to always work whereas using a TermQuery often doesn''t return any entries. For example: > x=@i[450][:message_id] => "9e7db9110509070759732b21c4 at mail.gmail.com" >

hi, ive been reading up on ferret, acts_as_ferret, and other search plugins for rails. after reading about ferret, i found out about the acts_as_ferrt plugin. my first question about acts_as_ferret: 1. from reading about ferret, do i still need to manually save the IDX and add a IDX column field to my model table for acts_as_ferret to work? they say that acts_as_ferret handles everything,

Hi Helpers: I have a factor object that has 314k entries of 39 land cover types.

Lucene''s standard analyzer splits words separater with underscores. Ferret doesn''t do this. For example, if I create an index with only document ''test_case'' and search for ''case'' it doesn''t find anything. Lucene on the other hand finds it. The same story goes for words separated by colons. Which analyzer should I use to emulate

Hi new version of ferret and acts as ferret have sorted out the scary glibc *** linked list pointer errors, thank god! New version are good but some searches are still not working. It is mostly the stop words ones. For example the "For Sale/Free/Swap" fails but works when "for" is stripped out. I have read all the recent posts regarding this issue and failed to get it to

Hi, I have question about the delete() method docs. I am re-indexing data on the fly so I would like to delete any existing indexed data for a particular resource before re-indexing it using index.delete(id). The delete() method api doc says: "Delete the document referenced by the document number id if id is an integer or all of the documents which have the term id if id is a term.. id:

Hi guys, I am using acts_as_ferret to do full text search on my models and I am having problem on three-letter word searches. I am going to use an example to explain my problem. Here it is: There is a table called users and it has login, first_name, last_name columns. There are three rows inside it. login first_name last_name bob bob henry longbob nil

Hello everyone. There is a new competition, outlined on the blog dataists<http://www.dataists.com/2010/10/using-data-tools-to-find-data-tools-the-yo-dawg-of-data-hacking/>, inviting us to analyse statistics of the use of R packages (collected from 52 R users), to create a R-package suggestion engine for ourselves. Since I noticed several bloggers already wrote about it (as I have detailed

Recently I''ve been revisiting some of my search code. With a greater understanding of how Java Lucene implements its search methods, I realized that one level of abstraction is not present in the Ferret classes/methods. Here are the relevant method signatures: Ferret''s search methods: in Ferret::Index::Index: search(query, options = {}) -> returns a TopDocs

Hi Dave ( again ! ) I''ve been searching for a while into my extension code to understand what was the matter, and Florent Solt who hasn''t got my extension has the same problem, so it figured to be a ferret problem.. Unfortunately, we''re unable at the moment to reproduce it in a little code so you could debug easilier... I''m working on it. Heres the issue :

Hi, I''m trying to run the "validates_inclusion_of" method in a before_save hook, because the range is dependant on the related data. But I can''t figure out how to call it. When calling it normally, it says it can''t find it. I''ve tried several combinations like "ActiveRecord::Validations.validates_inclusion_of", but I can''t seem to

Hi there, I''m working with some legacy data where customer phone numbers are stored with hyphens between the area code, exchange, and number (e.g. 555-555-5555). Is this the best way to store a phone number? Perhaps not, but it''s the way they were being stored, so I have to work with this format. Right, so when I save a record the log tells me acts_as_ferret indexed the

Hello everyone, I know this isn't strictly CentOS query, but I am hoping that someone here with more experience than myself might have some thoughts. I am trying to get a plugin working for Ganglia on a CentOS 5.5 box, in a testing environment. The plugin is for apache monitoring, called Ganglia-Logtailer. This plugin requires the executable /usr/bin/logtail in order to work. The only

Is there a fast way to determine how many documents a term occurs in, besides iterating through every document with TermDocEnum? -- Best regards, Stian Gryt?yr

Sorry for the delay here. For some reason the mail from Joshua Colp failed to deliver to my mailbox. So, anyway, I've set up a local scenario on my computer a PJSIP client and Asterisk 11.17.1 (On a fedora linux workstation) with the settings listed below. In this scenario I've used UDP, but I want a configuration that can be used with any transport protocol. I can see that the context

Hi, i''m working on a project using Ferret for indexing it''s datas. I''m very happy with it but i need to code an extension to implement a .to_json method to TopDocs class, because ruby''s json implementation is really really slow... It''s my second (the first was the tutorial :/ ) ruby C extension, so i''m not really at ease with ruby C
