similar to: Ferret 0.10.11 Bug fix release

Hi dave, and everyone ;) I''ve finished my extension to export Index.search(..) loaded results into json. Here''s a little benchmark of what i''ve done : >> Benchmark.realtime { INDEX.search(query, :limit => 1000).hits.each { |x| INDEX[x.doc].load.to_json } } => 7.38711595535278 >> Benchmark.realtime { INDEX.search(''type:hardware'',

I''m fairly new to ferret / aaf and finding it much easier to use than HyperEstraier (which I migrated from). However, I am getting a few errors and I need to figure out if they''re problems with my usage of ferret or a bug I should report. I''m currently running Ferret 0.10.11 with acts_as_ferret (latest via svn external) and 3 times today I''ve seen the

Hey guys, Sorry I haven''t been around for the last few days. I''ve just finished a coding marathon fixing up some of the performance problems in Ferret. If you don''t know what I''m talking about there has been a problem with Filters and Sorts on large indexes. Well, I think I''ve fixed the problem. Before: dbalmain at ubuntu:~/workspace/exp_old/c $

This is what happens when i try to get acts_as_ferret ...."nothing much".... Please help me and excuse me if its really dumb, i''m new to this! thanks C:\rails\app>gem install ferret Attempting local installation of ''ferret'' Local gem file not found: ferret*.gem Attempting remote installation of ''ferret'' Updating Gem source index for:

Hey guys, It has occurred to me that a lot of people need some of the fixes I make to Ferret ASAP and don''t like having to wait to long for the gem. On the other hand, it is a bit of a pain to download and install from subversion because then you need to uninstall when the next gem comes out. So I thought I may as well put some instructions out as to how you can build your own Ferret gem

Ferret 0.10.11 & AAF: the time seems to be stored in a format that can''t be sorted, the order doesn''t make any sense. Workaround: use to_i on the Time object before putting it into the index. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I was having some odd results when working with acts_as_ferret (current trunk), so I decided to test with the current version of ferret to see if I encountered the same problem. I did. Here are the details: installed ferret 0.10.10 on debian sarge with ''sudo gem install ferret'' (btw, same results on OSX) opened up an irb session: irb(main):001:0> require

Hi folks, This latest release of Ferret has a lot of improvements. There have been substantial improvements to performance. Try it for yourself to see. I won''t be publishing any numbers just yet. I will say though that it''s still about 2-4 times slower than Lucene with the extension installed. There is also some performance improvements in the pure Ruby version if you

Firstly, thanks Dave for all your hard work. Ferret Rocks!, I am just testing 0.11.4.win32 and it seems to work just fine, however the index creation phase of my app is perhaps 3x slower under 0.11.4 vs 0.10.9 Details follow: System: windows xp sp2, index on local hard disk, Ruby 1.8.6 Run #1, Ferret 0.10.9 - Reboot - Build index, 35,000 rows added in 297 seconds - Run #2, Ferret 0.11.4 -

Hello! I am developing a rails application in a test environment on Windows XP and recently upgraded to InstantRails 1.5. During the upgrade process, I went to install the latest ferret gem and realized that the latest gem compiled for Windows was 10.9. We upgraded our production environment (Ubuntu) to 11.1-rc2 successfully, but wanted to find out if we were going to run into any problems

Hi, we''re using Ferret 0.10.11 with acts_as_ferret (stable from svn), on a unix box, running rails 1.1.6 in production. a few days ago i rebuilt the index (by deleting the previous one and letting acts_as_ferret do its thing), and it ran fine for a few days. this evening i got a seg fault when one of the indexes was being updated via aaf, and now all ferret searches are busted,

Hey all, I''ve just released Ferret 0.10.3. It is mostly just a bugfix release. I''ve also added Ferret::Analysis::HyphenFilter which filters hyphenated words for better search results. Basically the way it works is it concatenates a hyphenated word as well as adding the two separate terms. So "set-up" becomes "setup", "set", "up" so

Hi! I''m trying to install ferret on windows, so I chose ferret-0.10.9-mswin32.gem from the download page, as it includes a already pre-compiled ferret_ext.so (is that correct?) and I don''t have any C compiler here. The gem installed it correctly, but the test didn''t work. So I called these commands: rake ext ruby setup.rb config ruby setup.rb setup ruby setup.rb

Hi, There is a problem with the way that acts_as_ferret verifies the index is valid. In ensure_index_exists it looks for a file named ''segments''. With the 0.11.0 release of ferret there is no file with this name. On my dummy application I have a ''segments.gen'' and ''segments_2y''. Changing the test to segments.gen fixes the problem that the

Hi All, As some of you may have noticed, the Ferret Wiki has been getting spammed like crazy. And I haven''t been able to do anything about it because I just don''t have the time. I''m getting pretty close to releasing 0.10.0 which has been the major draw on my time for the last couple of months so I''m going to have some time to look into this soon. I was

I''m currently trying to install the latest version of Ferret (0.10.9) on my Ubuntu Dapper (6.06) system. I have tried the gem, but it does not generate the ferret_ext.so file. Ideally I would prefer to install from the gem, but if source works, I''m fine with that too. I am now trying an install from source, but when I run the command ''$ rake ext'' I get the

Hi Everyone, I am currently in process of upgrading Ferret 0..9.1 to Ferret 0.10.9 with Ruby 1.8.4 in windows platform. I am trying to use search highlight feature on index_searcher subject = index_searcher.highlight("subject:(blah blah)", 0, :field => :content, :pre_tag = "<span

Hey guys, I''ve just removed the -fno-stack-protector flag from the release so those who had trouble because of this should now be able to install 0.11.2-rc3. If you have any problems with this release, please let me ASAP. Cheers, Dave -- Dave Balmain http://www.davebalmain.com/

Hey guys, I''ve been trying out ferret 0.9.3 on my powerbook this weekend and I''ve been triggering ''bus errors'' when using the Query API. If I programmatically build up strings, it works just fine. There''s some more information available in the trac ticket http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ticket/62 Is anyone successfully using the Query API on

Hi Dave, I am using ferret at my site http://gifthat.com and I just had a few exceptions pop up. I don''t have a way to reproduce them, but my site just was listed on lifehacker.com and these issues have popped up under multiple concurrent users (only twice though which I think isn''t too bad). I am using two lighttpd instances both with read/write access to the index: 1) Error
