similar to: Using a datefilter with caching

I''m using a RangeFilter to limit a search to only the most recently added documents. My index is about 150 000 articles and the RangeFilter typically selects about 1000 of them to run a batch of searches against. The performance is great as long as my index is newly optimized. As soon as add a few new documents the average search time for a batch of searches using the rangefilter

Hey all, Virgin post to this list - hope I've got it right ;o) I've been learning R intensively the last two weeks and gone from newbie status to *reasonably* comfortable with it. Here's an issue I just cannot solve however as it appears to be some kind of bug in R itself. But I won't claim that for sure. I have a function as follows: FindHighRow <- function(searchVector,

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

QueryParser is great, but I would like to make a query myself, so I can filter results by a specified value (in this case restricting by epoch time after a certain value) My code looks like this, and compiles, and appears like it should work according to the perl source:     my $query = $qp->parse_query($querystr);     if ($datefilter) {         my $filterepoch = time() - ($datefilter

I have a problem with file permissions and Ferret. In our production enivroment the webserver runs as one user and the console (and cron jobs) as another one. When Ferret creates a segment or file in the index directory it''s created with only read/write-permissions for the owner, which means that the other user can''t access the file. How can I affect the permission on files

We''ve been running Ferret for a few months on our site with great result. But, just a monent ago the index suddenly became corrupt. It all started with this error message: :108250 is out of range [0..108183] for IndexWriter#[] /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.10.9/lib/ferret/index.rb:382:in `[]'' And after that every search resulted in this error: A IOError

We get some unexpected results when using wild card queries. We''re using aaf and Ferret 0.11.4 For exampel, when seraching on a part of a collegues name (kristofer) and limiting it to a specific source_id: Query: source_id:25 AND kri* Result: 2 documents. None of them containg the word kristofer, but other matching words, as "kring" and "kring?" (swedish) Query:

Okay in this plea for help I''m going to repeat some of what i posted before but with a larger amount of background info in the hope that i can get a decent grip on ferret before it wriggles away.. Firstly, what does installing the acts_as_ferret plugin actually do? I install it and add it to my model and then the index is automatically generated and a few methods are added to it and

I''m using ferret (0.9.4) in rails, but outside of the "acts_as_ferret" plugin. Whenever I use a QueryFilter (even a very simple one), the server will crash after one, two, or three reloads of a page (same page, same query, same filter). It''s very non-deterministic and I can''t seem to reproduce it outside of my application environment (I can''t get it

I am trying to build up a filtered search using the logic below. bq = Ferret::Search::BooleanQuery.new bq.add_query(Ferret::Search::TermQuery.new(Ferret::Index::Term.new("section",section.downcase!)), Ferret::Search::BooleanClause::Occur::MUST) filter = Ferret::Search::QueryFilter.new(bq) @vobjects = VoObject.find_by_contents(search_input,:filter => filter, :sort

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

I''m using acts_as_ferret to do a query like this: Model1.multi_search("my query",[Model2,Model3], :limit => 2) No matter what number i set limit to I get 10 items in the resultset. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks/David -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, I am using acts_as_ferret and have a problem with scoring. I would like to organize it in such way that, if any of the searched terms fits, I get 1.0 score as a result. I will explain it on the example. I have in index: a) "one two three four" b) "one two three" c) "one two" d) "one" When I search for "one" I would like to get 1.0 score for

I have to build an array through both activerecord and also through a ferret index. I was hoping to find a way of sorting the array as i combine the two so def advanced_search(search_text, store, format, sortby) # find items in ferret index items = Item.find_by_contents(search_text) # and now find all the items from a certain store or category items_from_sql = Item.find_by_sql("SELECT *

Hi there, I''m having some strange sorting stuff goign on. Here''s my search method: sort_fields = [] sort_fields << Ferret::Search::SortField.new("name", :reverse => :false) @results = Listing.find_by_contents @search_criteria, :limit => :all, :sort => sort_fields page = (params[:page] ||= 1).to_i items_per_page = 9 offset = (page - 1) *

I was thinking about this some more: Is there a reason I can't just weight by some function of recency at indexing time? $weight = get_weight_based_on_recency(...); $tg->index_text($txt,$weight); If I wanted to allow the user the option of searching either in recency-weighted mode or not, I could index each document into 2 different databases, one with and one without. This avoids

I''m using Ferret on a Swedish website and I get some unexpected behaviour on searches containing the swedish charchters ???. An exampel, if I index a string "Varf?r fungerar det inte" ("Why doesnt it work" in swedish) and search for "f?r" I''ll get one (1) match. The expected behaviour would be no matches since ''f?r'' is part of

Say the user first enters "ruby" for search and gets 1000 results. Then he can search "rails" just in the 1000 results just returned. The common scenario is some kind of advanced search. User can incrementally add criteria and the program will narrow the results step by step. I know that at least I can use all the criteria as a whole to do the searching, but this is a waste

Hi list, I''m new to ferret and I wonder what is the best way to search if I know one fields id and want to search on its content. I have experimented with FilteredQuery but I don''t know if this is the best way. Eg. index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/tmp/all'') @dbh = Database.instance.connect result = @dbh.exec("SELECT pk_fulltext_id, fulltext_text
