Hi, I''m working on a Ferret-based application which indexes content in all European languages. Thus, I have to deal with those funny European characters. After googling a bit, I decided to move on with a custom European analyzer based on MappingFilter, as suggested in the Ferret rdoc. Everything works fine with Ferret 0.11.3 on Mac OS X. But this application needs to run on both

I''m startin to use Ferret and acts_as_ferret. I need to use something like EuropeanAnalyzer (http://olivier.liquid-concept.com/fr/pages/2006_acts_as_ferret_accentuated_chars). By example, if the user search by "gonzalez" you can find documents taht contents the term "gonz?lez" (gonzález) The EuropeanAnalyzer is based on Ferret::Analysis::TokenFilter,

I''m building my first Filter and I''m running into an issue with Ferret::Index::IndexReader#term_docs. As I understand it, index_reader.term_docs should return a term-document enumerator for the entire index: index_reader.term_docs => empty set However, I''m getting an empty set. Interestingly enough, the following: index_reader.term_docs_for(:name,

I would like to thank all the people who have contributed to this very fine project. Great work! I''ve encountered some strange results while examining the term frequency of one of my indexed documents. The indexed terms seem to vary for the very same document depending on the presence or absence of completely unrelated operations in the code, so the resulting term frequency changes, too.

After migrating to 0.9.1, I got: usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activesupport-1.3.1/lib/active_support/dependencies.rb:123:in `const_missing'': uninitialized constant TokenFilter (NameError) Here is a snapshot of my code: ... require ''ferret'' class MyFilter < Analysis::TokenFilter ...

Hi all, I''d like to write my own TokenStream Filter (in lucene this would be a subclass of a TokenFilter, which ferret seems to lack) but I''m not sure how to go about it. Specifically, it''s not clear how I''d create a non-trivial TokenStream to pass out to any filters that wrapped mine. Can anyone point me towards a code example? Thanks. -- Richard Jones

Hi i''m using ferret to enable geographical postcode. I take a postcode and distance in miles from the user, strip off the outcode and then retrieve the associated x y coordinates in metres from the db. Then i get two temp x''s and y''s and search for all results that are within the box, see code below. Problems start to occur when i search on big distances so for

Hi, I''m using the StandardAnalyzer to build an index, and passing in Documents that have Fields that contain large tokens (22+ characters) interpersed with normal English words. This seems to cause the IndexWriter to slow to a crawl. Is this a known issue, or am I doing something wrong? If this is a known issue I don''t have any problem just not indexing tokens longer than a

Hi all, This has been very frustrating for me trying to get this acts_as_ferret working well on a Fedora box. On my mac it works great, no problems with locale, but when I put the code live on my Fedora server, it complains about the locale setting (Error occured at <analysis.c>:498 Error: exception 2 not handled: Error decoding input string. Check that you have the locale set

Hello, I want to clean up accented characters in my index, using acts_as_ferret in a Rails project. I searched this forum, and found the best solution is to use an analyser. I created somthing like this: class PortugueseAnalyzer include Ferret::Analysis MAPPING = {

Hi, I posted a Trac ticket about it, but I thought I''d ask the mailing list to reach more people. I''m using these filters together in my analyzer (with acts_as_ferret + Ferret 0.11.1). HyphenFilter.new( StopFilter.new( LowerCaseFilter.new( MappingFilter.new(

Hi all, I''ve ran into a problem with Ferret on my rails app, and I don''t really have a clue about why. When running the unit tests, I get the following error output: > Exception raised: > Class: <NoMethodError> > Message: <"You have a nil object when you didn''t expect it!\nThe > error occured while evaluating nil.version"> >

In the O''reilly Ferret short cuts, I found very useful example for me. It explains how to make custom Tokenizer. But that book doesn''t explain how to make custom Filter. (especially, how to implement the #text=() method) I''m a newbee and I don''t understand how do I create my own custom Filter. Are there some good source code examples?? -- Posted via

I am looking to have a number of categories populated from my results of a search. For example, searching on "sport" would display all results for sport. I want to also have a number of categories to refine the documents down. So by clicking on the "Fishing" category or the "Shooting" category, I would only see the results on sport around that category. Now for

Hi, I'm using Samba 2.2.4 with LDAP support (OpenLDAP 2.0.23), and with pam_ldap included in the rpm nss_ldap 1.86 from Redhat (I'm on Linux Redhat 7.2). All these things are working well (I use the same object SambaAcount under PosixAccount in order to authenticate all these things), but a problem appears when I'm trying to list all the accounts and groups from my Win2000

Hello, I am currently using ferret 0.9.5 and acts_as_ferret 0.2.3 on windows XP All my unit and functions test that used to work before I installed ferret are erroring out. My index is on a model name Post, and it looks like all tests that contains methods which does CRUD to the Post model bombs out. Is there anything special I need to do before running unit and functional test? Thanks

I want to compare two documents in the index (i.e. retrieve the cosine similarity/score between two documents term-vector''s). Is this possible using the standard Ferret functionality? Thanks in advance, Jeroen Bulters -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I have indexed a huge amount of data with text from several european languages. In the index are values like Georg Friedrich H?ndel. I would like a search phrase like "Georg Friedrich Handel" to find records with the real spelling of H?ndel but it doesn''t seem to work. Can anyone give me an idea of what I need to do to make this happen. A bit lost here and

I want to correct spelling errors automatically. I have used search in the past where I can pass an argument through standard search to correct a word with up to 2 spelling errors for example or do the more Google like "Did ya mean?". In this case I just want to change it automatically and search. I am not too interested in specifying the number of characters it is out by. What is
