Sorry for asking so many questions recently. Just wondered. I originally had acts_as_ferret in my model and I performed a few searches. I then decided to change this line to acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ?name? ] However when I perform searches it is still listing results with queries contained in fields other than the ''name'' field. How do i fix this? -- Posted via

I have a win xp box running instant rails. I installed ferret (the win version) and acts_as_ferret seemingly succesfully. I then added "require ''acts_as_ferret''" to the environment.rb file of my project. However, I cannot get webrick/mongrel to start. Can anyone suggest a solution?

Hi there, Has anyone tried acts_as_ferret with Edge Rails and Mongrel? When I install the plugin to a project that has Edge Rails frozen, and the Mongrel gem installed, I can''t start the server.

hi, ive been reading up on ferret, acts_as_ferret, and other search plugins for rails. after reading about ferret, i found out about the acts_as_ferrt plugin. my first question about acts_as_ferret: 1. from reading about ferret, do i still need to manually save the IDX and add a IDX column field to my model table for acts_as_ferret to work? they say that acts_as_ferret handles everything,

Hi, I have this maddening strange bug using acts_as_ferret. If I search for a given phrase (let''s say "xyz") I get one set of results (lets call them set A). I search for xyz again and I get set A again. I search for xyz a third time and I get a different set (set B). I can keep executing the search query and my result sets continue to cycle a-a-b-a-a-b-a-a-b. It''s

Hi, after a long indexing run I got the following error. I have 149 MB space left on the disk, the index is 311 MB large; could Ferret have tried to use more than that for the optimizing? Or would that have resulted in a different error message? /usr/local/ruby-1.8.5/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/rails-1.1.6/lib/commands/runner.rb:27:

Disclaimer: ferret newbie here, don''t blame too hard.

Hi all, I just tagged acts_as_ferret 0.2.2 as the current stable version, so get it while it''s hot ;-) new features: - added support for the multiple models/single index approach. - find out the total number of search results by calling total_hits on the array returned by find_by_contents. fixes: - trac tickets #20 (find_by_contents breaks ferret sorting) and #24

Hi new version of ferret and acts as ferret have sorted out the scary glibc *** linked list pointer errors, thank god! New version are good but some searches are still not working. It is mostly the stop words ones. For example the "For Sale/Free/Swap" fails but works when "for" is stripped out. I have read all the recent posts regarding this issue and failed to get it to

I''m sure I''m missing something completely obvious here, so I hope someone can point me in the right direction!

The code in my search_controller.rb: search_text = params[:query] || " " @products =

Hello I have a couple of questions, Hope someone here can help answer them. I am using acts_as_ferret on a model Item with around 10 million rows. I use Item.rebuild_index at the ruby console to build the index. It seems to run for at least 48 hours when building.
