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

I''m trying to use a DateFilter to speed up some searches. The situation is that a have an index with 200 000+ documents and I want to run a few thousand alerts (basically stored searches) on only a small portion of the index (documents added the last hour). Is datefilter the best solution for the situation described above? I assumed that the datefilter would be cached in the same way

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:

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''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

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/.

I am running ferret (0.11.4) and acts_as_ferret (stable from svn) in a rails 1.2.3 app in production using the DRb server. I recently upgraded my configuration and the method with which I start and stop the server no longer works: Here is the command I would like to use (and have used in the past) to start the aaf server: $ /Library/WebServer/rails/ccdb/current/script/runner -e production

Hi, Right now I''m having ferret index about 1.5million documents. I plan on rebuilding the index on another machine and then copying the index over to the webserver. I read in one of the other posts that ferret has to reopen the index to see any new changes. Is there a way to script this? My frontend is a RoR app using AAF. Thanks, Chris -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi, had my local linux box setup and ferret was working like a champ via Webrick. However, when I moved to a different linux box using Apache web server, search no worky..giving the error listed below. The site itself comes up fine. I''ve tried deleting all the dirs under /index and restarted the webserver to see if re-indexing would help, but that made matters worse. Re-indexing

Hello, I''m usin gferret and I''ve just attempted to build an index that contains 15,968,046 documents. I''ve rebuild the index from scratch, but when I try to search for some items I get this error: IOError: IO Error occured at <except.c>:79 in xraise Error occured in fs_store.c:289 - fsi_seek_i seeking pos -1284143798: <Invalid argument> This is

Hi All, I''m using acts as ferret and getting a lot of these errors: ---- Error occured in fs_store.c:324 - fs_open_input couldn''t create InStream /var/rails/projectblue/website/public/../config/../index/production/content_page/_347i.fdt: <No such file or directory> ---- and also some of these errors: ---- uninitialized constant Ferret::Index::Index::LockError

Hello everyone, I was stress-testing my application (running on Rails via FastCGI) by letting two concurrent users (not human .. an app called ''siege'') a) save an Article and b) search for all Articles. I am searching via Article.ferret_index.search_each( ..) do |doc_id,score| doc = index[doc_id] .. end and writing via Article.ferret_index <<

Hi Folks, I''ve just released version 0.9.0. This latest version of Ferret is an alpha release. I have removed the old c extension and Ferret is now running on a fully ported C library. This has allowed some huge performance improvements both with regard to memory and CPU usage. There will probably be a few portability issues to start with. It has been developed on Linux so it should

We''re running Ferret and acts_as_ferret in our production environment. We have multiple mongrels talking to a single index on a separate (virtual) server over DRb. This is working ok for now, as our index updates are fairly infrequent. I''m concerned with the lack of rendundancy/scalability in this layout. Our index won''t get too big - maybe 100k indexed objects, each no

Hey .. I was thinking about the way I need to use the Ferret::Index::Index Class and its subclasses .. i find it somehow complex .. I think this can be done more easily .. Most of the Time a user needs to open up a index to do queries, the best way would be to use a IndexReader afaik. I would suggest to do it that way: index = Ferret::Index::Index.new( :path =>

If I disable ferret in my environment file and then run a cron job every hour to index the records that have been added/changed, do I enable Ferret just in the script that does the hourly indexing? Or do I somehow need to tell the process that runs the Ferret DRB server that it should start writing to the index again? Thanks in advance. Erik

I found it quite fun to generate index by ferret. However, I had to use lucene now. Can I use the index that I''ve already done by ferret? ps. Lucene 2.2.0 vs Ferret 0.11.4 Thx! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey, Ferret is repeatedly seg-faulting my mongrel servers on the same line: /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.10.11/lib/ferret/index.rb:718: [BUG] Segmentation fault ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i686-linux] I''m using ferret 0.10.11.

Hi, I built an index on a free bsd machine using ferret and then ported the index to another machine. While searching from that copied index the searcher generates a file not found error. I have set all the permission right and the files do exist in the directories.on creating index from local machine the searcher finds the index. could any body please tell what might be the problem. Is it a
