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 have design question and I''m wondering what''s the best way to solve it. I''m trying to index HTML content where I have a single model object call it Article that is an acts_as_ferret model, and an article consists of many HTML files. I would like to index all of the content of the article with ferret and search across it. However, since the article''s

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

Hi, I have a small path I''d like to submit to acts_as_ferret how do I do that? Charlie -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have an older version installed and want to try the latest ferret/aaf to see if it solves some perf problems, but haven''t been able to get aaf on multiple tries on multiple days now. script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/plugin/acts_as_ferret svn: Can''t connect to host ''projects.jkraemer.net'': Operation timed out Has

I was wondering if it is possible to search word documents using ferret. The actual text in a word document isn''t in a binary format - only the formatting. Surely it would be possible to parse that? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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/.

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

I am unable to find results for models when one or more of the terms are not being indexed. Lets suppose I index a User on the phrase "Ruby on Rails." If I then search using User.find_by_contents("Ruby on Rails") I get no results, since "or" is a common term and does not get indexed. Of course, User.find_by_contents("Ruby Rails") works just fine. I

Hello guys, I''m pretty new to using AAF and am having a slight problem with using a condition. I have the following code @results = SupplierProduct.find_by_contents(params[:search], :conditions => [''area_id = ?'', @area]) and it seems the condition isn''t being applied. Does anyone have any pointers? Cheers, Alastair -- Posted via

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, Using aaf to search pages, I wanted to present excerpts from the texts even when more than one term was used in the search. I came to some results, despite the difficulty caused by Unicode+ruby. The last problem I''m faced is to get the query words, without the logical articulation chars if any. Is there a clean way to get them ? -- Jean-Christophe Michel

I''m getting this exception from acts_as_ferret: A RuntimeError occurred in search#similar: cannot determine document number from primary key: #<MyClass:0x9feba20> [RAILS_ROOT]/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/instance_methods.rb:132:in `document_number'' As a result of this call: object.more_like_this The relevant backtrace:

I''m trying to sort my search results by Date, in descending order. I''ve done quite a bit of reading through the forums here, and I''ve tried two different suggestions. This just returns results in the same order as a search without a sort: sort_fields = [] sort_fields << Ferret::Search::SortField.new("ferret_created_at",:reverse => :true)

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?

Anyone ever run into this error message when creating a new FieldInfos? Ferret::Index::FieldInfos.new(:store=>:no) NoMethodError: undefined method `exists?'' for {:store=>:no}:Hash -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

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 =

Hi, Right now I''m having ferret index about 1.5million documents. I plan on rebuilding the index on another machine and then copying the index over to the webserver. I read in one of the other posts that ferret has to reopen the index to see any new changes. Is there a way to script this? My frontend is a RoR app using AAF.

Hi after upgrading to ferret 0.10.1 and bleeding edge aaf i''m getting some strange behavior. Generally much better stability with new version of ferret but when i add new items for some reason i can no longer search with a *. Or rather i can but it returns no results and no errors. I can search and get results normally on other searches and when i rebuild the index i can search with
