Hi, I have been using myisam tables in mysql with rails because my client will soon want fulltext searchable content, however when I migrated my development db from schema.rb all of the tables generated were innodb. I understand that I can override this, but also like the transactions and foreign keys of innodb. So 2 questions really: 1. are transactions in activerecord dependent on innodb or do

Hey guys, Now that the Lucy[1] project has Apache approval and is about to begin, the onus is no longer on Ferret to strive for Lucene compatability. (We''ll be doing that in Lucy). So I''m starting to think about ways to improve Ferret''s API. The first part that needs to be improved is the Document API. It''s annoying having to type all the attributes to

Hi all, Having problems trying to get Ferret to read an index generated by Lucene. Am I right in thinking Ferret should be able to read a Lucene generated index no problem? Using the code snippets detailed in http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/64099#new Any advice gratefully received. Many Thanks, Steven -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

We use Nutch and Lucene for our heavy duty text analysis jobs but I?m trying to use ferrret to do some experiments. I understood that Ferret used the same index format as lucene but I cannot look into a lucene index with ferret and cannot read a ferret index with luke (the lucene index browser). Am I doing somehting wrong or have the formats diverged? -------------- next part -------------- An

I am indexing over 10,000 rows of data, it is very slow when it is indexing the 100,1000,10000 row, and now it is over 1 hour passed on the row 10,000. how to make it faster? here is my code: ================== doc = Document.new doc << Field.new("id", t.id, Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED) doc << Field.new("title", t.title,

Hi there, What''s the current status of the Windows port? I may be in a position to lend a hand over the next couple of weeks - where should I start looking? And what''s the best way to get SVN HEAD? This happens: $ svn checkout svn://www.davebalmain.com/ferret/trunk ferret svn: Can''t connect to host ''www.davebalmain.com'': Connection refused --

Hi List, I''ve took some time and made some tests on the performance of java-lucene, hyperestraier and ferret as Dave encourages the community of ferret to do so. Quite intersting numbers. Ferret indeed deserves to be called a high-performance port!! It''s MyFirstBenchmark ( http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/MyFirstBenchmark ) so please don''t be too cruel on

I found it quite fun to generate index by ferret. However, I had to use lucene now. Can I use the index that I''ve already done by ferret? ps. Lucene 2.2.0 vs Ferret 0.11.4 Thx! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey all! We''ve been using Ferret to great success these past six months. But recently we''ved tried adding many new ContentItems (only thing being index by Ferret at the moment), and things came crashing to a halt. ferret gem: 0.10.9 acts_as_ferret plugin (not sure which version) How we''re using the plugin: class ContentItem < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret

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, Does anyone know why the indexes created by Ferret can''t be opened by Luke (http://www.getopt.org/luke/)? When I do development with Clucene I use Luke all the time to understand what is going on in the index. It is especially useful when trying to diagnose analyzer issues. When I try to open a Ferret index with Luke I get the message "Invalid or corrupted index". I

Hi! RDig is a small tool to build a Ferret index for the contents of a website or intranet. It contains a simple HTTP crawler and some support for extracting textual content from the fetched pages. I built this to implement a site-wide search for a recent project that combined a Rails application with lots of static html files generated by a CMS. Any feedback is very welcome! Rubyforge

Hi, I am just getting started with Ferret, but I have a couple of questions. Any help is appreciated. 1) Will the current Ferret implementation only work on one server due to the index file? If it will work on multiple servers, could you point me towards some documentation? If not, are there plans to add support in the future? 2) This may not be Ferret-specific, but if I were implementing

I am using ferret right now, and it works great for all my regular text documents/information. My problem arises when I want to index/search all of our assets (mostly pdf files). Currently, there is no way to READ pdfs from Ruby. Because of this I have to resort to using Java to read the PDF''s and then Lucene to index them. My problem here is a couple things. One, to index a asset I have

Hi all, Have been looking at lucene and ferret. Have noticed that ferret takes ~463 seconds to index 200Mb of docs, whereas lucene takes ~60 seconds. I''m using the standard "get you started" sort of code provided by both libraries. My ruby code is: (abridged) @index = Index::Index.new(:path => inIndexPath) def createIndex(inRepositoryPath)

I''m trying to use Ferret to do fuzzy searches. If I use fuzzy search for just one word, it works fine: index.search(''name:gogle~0.4'') However, if I try to use a phrase, it doesn''t work: index.search(''name:"gogle search engine"~0.4'') On the other hand, I could do: index.search(''name:gogle~0.4 AND

I''m wondering if ferret has any built-in search/replace mechanism that I might be able to use to highlight the query data in each search result. The reason I think this would be a good idea is that I could end up having to practically duplicate the ferret query parser just to interpret the query so that I can figure out how to highlight the keywords in the search results. Just in case

I tried adding a FULLTEXT search index to a table of mine in MySQL, only to discover that the InnoDB table format doesn''t seem to support this feature. Switching to the MyISAM table type seemed to work, but I seem to have some recollection that ActiveRecord transactions aren''t fully atomic on MyISAM tables. Is this true or am I just remembering wrong? If so, does anyone have

I need decide on if our site will go with Java or Ruby on Rails. The major factor is that does Farret support Lucene''s ChineseAnalyzer or CJKAnalyzer or not. Can anyboby shine some lights on Farret''s Chinese search support? Really appreciate. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
