Hi, So i''m trying to use acts_as_taggable with the acts_as_ferret plugin, where I have Post.rb model, which has a method tag_list made available through acts_as_taggable, as returns a string of associated tag words from the tags table (tag.rb). I''ve set up my Post.rb model in the following way. class Post < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_taggable acts_as_ferret

I''ve been reading through the lucene, ferret, and aaf docs, but I''m still a bit new at full text indexing. When I create a new instance of an indexed model, and save it, it doesn''t show up in searches. Should I have to update the index of the entire model (which works) before it will return in queries? Britt

I have a model called "Business". Each object say @business can be tagged by any user. When i do ferret update for this object(on adding a new tag or editing it), there always a possibility that another user is also tagging it. I am using the std rails pluggin for tagging ''acts_as_taggable''. So is the indexing done properly. Or would there be any problem? Thanks

hi, i read this: http://www.johnnysthoughts.com/2006/08/27/ruby-on-rails-using-full-text-search-with-tagging/ does this mean i do not have to install the acts_as_taggable plugin? all i need to do is something like this is my model class? acts_as_ferret :field=>[''name'', :tag_list] -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, the current acts_as_ferret trunk is now ported to Ferret 0.10. Get it while it''s hot at svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/plugin Nearly everything works, besides this: - all queries are ORed (no way to tell the QueryParser to build AND queries by default) - more_like_this is broken I''m working with Dave to fix these things soon. The last Ferret 0.9.x

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 am using Ferret and acts_as_ferret, as my search back-end for my Rails project. I have a question about using acts_as_ferret on a main table that is linked to other tables by foreign keys. Is there a way to include the information linked by the belongs_to keyword in the search results ? As an example, let''s say I have a main table ''posts'':

Just curious, is there anyway to use memcache with a ferret index? Thanks, Ray -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

I have ferret setup in my model with multiple fields, but when I do a search on the value that might be stored in two fields, I get no results. Here''s an example: "Jim 12333" Where Jim is a name field, and 12333 is a zip code. I have this in my model: acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ''name'', ''zip'' ] I''m not sure

Hi, One of the AAF features is to be able to index results of methods, but I haven''t seen anywhere how to do this. I have a method that returns the full text of a file and I''d like for this to be indexed. Can anyone out there help me out on this one? Tom -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

The acts_as_ferret documentation says find_by_content returns an instance of SearchResults, but I see this error when I try to use the results. undefined method `total_hits'' for []:Array Here is the link to the documentation: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/rdoc/classes/FerretMixin/Acts/ARFerret/ClassMethods.html#M000010 But here is the actual code: result =

I would like to give the 0.9.0 version of Ferret a try on my application hosted on TextDrive. I am currently running on the 0.3.2 version there. Does anyone have any tips on installing it locally there? I know just enough about Ruby gems to get by... but I am thinking it could be as easy as passing a -i flag to specify the install location for ferret. Then, the only thing I am not sure about

My index is not being updated when I add new records or amend existing ones. Can anyone point me in the direction of where I should be looking for what is going wrong? I''m running this in the production environment. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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

Dear list, I ''m using a text input field with autocompletion . The suggestions come from a ferret index which is created by getting all the terms belonging to other indices. Here is the code: class Suggestion attr_accessor :term def self.index(create) [Person, Project, Orgunit].each{|kl| terms = self.all_terms(kl) terms.each{|term| suggestion =

Hi, I''m working on an aaf bug report that led me to what I think is a bug in Ferret itself. The snippet at http://pastie.caboo.se/12950 shows the problem, the last two lines should imho only return one result, because of :offset => 1 or :limit => 1, but both return all (that is, 2) results (Ferret 0.10.4).

PROBLEM I have two models, Blog and BlogComment. When a blog is initially created, it has no comments. Upon creation, the title and body are automatically added to the ferret index and directly searchable. However, when a comment is added to a blog, that comment does not get added to the index and is therefore not ferretable. The desired behavior is that when a comment is added to a blog, that the

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?
