similar to: invalid characters with win32

I have an important segfault when I create the index (via Ferret::Index::FieldInfos#create_index). I decided to run the tests, this is what I have : $> ruby test_all.rb Loading once Loaded suite test_all Started ....................EEEEEEEE./unit/../unit/index/../../unit/store/../../unit/analysis/../../unit/utils/../../unit/query_parser/../../unit/search/tc_filter.rb:11: [BUG] Segmentation

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

I have a problem, I use utf all over a rails site, but the search failes to search characters with acccents... I try to debug it, and i had run unit tests for ferret, can those failures cose problems? <pre> /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.11.3/test/ ruby test_all.rb Loading once Loaded suite test_all Started

Just a quick note for future reference - at least for me, ferret won''t work on Ruby 1.8.4. gem install ferret Successfully installed ferret-0.11.4-mswin32 ruby -v ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24) [i386-mswin32] irb irb(main):001:0> require ''ferret'' A windows error message box appears - ruby.exe - Entry Point Not Found The procedure entry point rb_w32_write could not be

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

Hi all, first up, big thanks to Dave for doing the hard work of porting Lucene. I have come to love Lucene through my Java work and was extremely pleased to find the Ferret project for Ruby. Now, I am tinkering with building the C extension using Visual Studio 2005. So far, I have had some success in getting something built and working in my Rails app (diffs attached). I am also encountering a

Hey, Has anyone managed to bypass or fix the ferret''s .dump method problem? When I include acts_as_ferret my whole rails app just blows up because of Ferret''s .dump method. Ex: --- print "\t hello".dump >> "\t hello">Exit code: 0 --- --- require ''ferret'' print "\t hello".dump >> " hello"(NUL

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.

I''m running: ferret (0.10.9) ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-mswin32] on Windows XP(SP2) When I create an index as follows: field_infos = FieldInfos.new(:store => :yes, :term_vector => :no, :index => :yes) field_infos.add_field(:id, :index => :untokenized) field_infos.add_field(:subject) field_infos.add_field(:author) field_infos.add_field(:tags, :store => :no) index =

Hi all, I''ve just noticed that 0.10 is out and wanted to give it a try on windows. I''m not at all an VS C++ Developer so I might do something very stupid here. My env: Windows Server 2003 VS .NET 2003 On the command line with nmake from VC7 in the path this is what I get: Attempting remote update of ferret Building native extensions. This could take a while... Microsoft

Hi! I''m trying to install ferret on windows, so I chose ferret-0.10.9-mswin32.gem from the download page, as it includes a already pre-compiled ferret_ext.so (is that correct?) and I don''t have any C compiler here. The gem installed it correctly, but the test didn''t work. So I called these commands: rake ext ruby setup.rb config ruby setup.rb setup ruby setup.rb

The included test script turned up the following anomolies (run against Ferret 0.10.3, but had same problems with 0.10.2): 1. When the content word is not in the index the inclusion of a wildcard file term causes search_each to throw a segmentation fault. $ ./test.rb zzz file:*.txt query: +content:zzz +file:*.txt ./test.rb:28: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.4 (2005-12-24)

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?

I have found another crash in ferret; this one just uses a regular search. It''s similar to an issue reported by Matt Schnitz a while ago, but unlike his, mine does not go away if I turn off omit_norms. It does go away if I turn on the garbage collector more often, but I''m not sure that''s a stable workaround under the circumstances. This one isn''t a

Hi, I''m having trouble with ferret and AAF blowing up with a NoMemoryError. Sometimes when I add documents inside my rails app. Ferret starts consuming huge amounts of memory. I''m on a machine with 2GB of memory and it still runs out of memory. Sometimes I''m able to run MyObject.rebuild_index and the memory doesn''t move up at all. However, sometimes it

Hello. I''m trying to use the ''acts_as_ferret'' gem with Rails.

I am trying to use SVN HEAD of Acts_as_ferret, and I have ferret 0.10.4installed from the windows Gem. Unfortuanantly, whenever I i let act_as_ferrets init.rb file require ferret, my app blows up, with weird "Invalid char" errors. I have pasted the page below. If I comment out the require ferret, the page loads. Of course, act_as_ferret does blow up. My unit tests do work fine

Hi All: For certain key terms I always get this error; I had to rebuild the indexes then it works for a while then again it is gone. here is the message ActionView::TemplateError (undefined method `each'' for nil:NilClass) on line #4 /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/actionpack-1.12.5/lib/action_view/base.rb:316:in `compile_and_render_template''

Hello, I am having trouble getting data ranges to work correctly. I am using the following command to load the db: index << {:title => row[7].to_i, :date => Date.strptime(row[3], ''%Y-%m-%d''), :page_id => row[5].to_i, :page => row[6].to_i, :content_type => row[1].to_i,
