similar to: Which analyzer to use

Hi all, maybe not a Ferret question, but I assume here might have came across that already. I wrote a simple CGI app that adds docs into a Ferret index. The idea is testing asian languages input and searching. The script that does the input seems to be OK. As David mentioned in a question I made a little while ago, Ferret''s index is agnostic, in the sense that you can store anything in

I have an index in which I want different records to be accessible to different users. I think I can do this by adding a "users" field to each record in the index and narrow down my queries to only those records matching the current user''s userid. I have the userids separated by commas. What would be the right way to query for a certain user? I have to make sure that I

I just started using Ferret and I successfully indexed some documents. I can search this index using the following code: index = Index::Index.new(:path => path) index.search_each("something") do |doc, score| print "##{doc} #{index[doc][''url'']} - #{score}" print "\n" end However, when I try to use Search::Searcher and QueryParser

Hi! I want to index html files, but w/o the tags, so I was thinking either I remove them before I index it (expensive), or put up an RegExpAnalyzer. BTW, when using an analyzer, does that mean that everything which it declines (i.e. the RegExpAnalyzer doesn''t match) won''t be put into the index files (i.e. blows it up)? I came up with a simple test, which didn''t

Hi,David Can you give me an example of how to add analyzer to ferret to Asian languages? My web application will have to support multi language search,which means,for example,both Chinese and English will be searched through the form. Currently,I have decided to use the simple token principles,which means that every Chinese character will be a token,although this is not so well in some

Hi, I''ve discovered ferret and aaf this evening, I''ve just done some tests and it seems perfect for my needs. I''m indexing text data (title, description, etc) and also ethernet hardware addresses (MAC). Sorry if that sounds trivial but I can''t find the way to correctly index and achieve correct searches on MAC addresses. If I do something like this: index =

I''m trying to generate a rails pagination helper for some ferret search results, and I need to know how many total matches there are to my search query. I don''t see an obvious way of finding this. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Carl Youngblood

Hi all, I''m trying to figure out how to add a filter into a search. I''ve created the filter, basically copying the location filter from http://blog.tourb.us/archives/ferret-and-location-based-searches. But when I try to call Index.search and pass the filter in a hash with the key :filter, I get back that it is expecting type Data, and so I''m at a loss to figure out

Is there a way to add per-field analyzer? I can''t seem to find a way to do that. Thanks -- Kent --- http://www.datanoise.com

Hi David again. I would say that Ferret works great with Rails. And now I am trying to create pagination. Because site could have millions of documents I need to create on page link something like "Page #100". Rather usual situation. But to create this links I need to know how many documents Ferret found in index. For now I am doing it with following code index =

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

Up to now in my ferret development I have been using simple single-word strings as my search queries. I just now am trying to increase the complexity of my queries. When I was passing a single word with no spaces in my index searches, like so: count = index.search_each(''testing'') do |d, s| ... end everything worked fine. But now when I do something like this: count =

How to add Chinese language full text searching function by using acts_as_ferret? RegExpAnalyzer.new(/./,false) this analyzer, i don''t know how to use it! does it works like this: user searching---->acts_as_ferret---->ferret ???? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey all, I''ve just released Ferret version 0.10.2. It is mostly just a bug fix release. The only change is that a highlight method has been added to Ferret::Index::Index. Please try it out and let me know what you think. The big news for this release is that there is also a binary win32 gem included. This is the first time I''ve build a gem like this so please let me know if

I''ve successfully installed ferret and acts_as_ferret and have no problem with utf-8 for accented characters. It returns correct results fot e.g. fran?ais. My problem is with non latin characters (Persian indeed). I have tested different locales with no success both on Debian and Mac. Any idea?

Hi all, I want to use ferrent in my website but when i input chinese words, i have the same symptom like Chengcai. In order to fix it, i have reviewed all the topics about chinese support in our forum and tried all the way your guys suggested but still made any progress. i downloaded the latest version of ferret from svn. Thanks and regards. captain Chengcai He wrote: > Hello everyone!

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

Hi, I seem to be having trouble getting more than 10 hits from Index#search_each since upgrading to 0.10.2 (ie, this was working in 0.9.4). Maybe a bug, as the #search_each doesn''t seem to use the options parameter any more ?
