I posted this issue as a bug on the acts_as_ferret trac (http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/ticket/36) but need to get this working asap. so hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Hi, I''m trying to apply acts_as_ferret to apply search to my Person model: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :name, :surname acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ''name'', ''surname'' ] ...

Hi, I''m running the edge Typo and the latest acts_as_ferret plugin and ferret gems (as of 11 April).

Hey Folks, after following the instructions for tweaking Typo to use rather ferret than DB queries to search article I got a strange NoMethod error when starting the console or the server scripts. /usr/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/activerecord-1.14.4/lib/active_record/base.rb:1129:in `method_missing'':NoMethodError: undefined method `acts_as_ferret'' for Content:Class As you can

I have multiple models all with: acts_as_ferret :fields => [...] (models = profiles, blogs, comments ) When I restart the server and perform any crud operation on one of the above models, the index is created/updated. If I then go and perform any crud operation on ANOTHER model, ...the index from that first model is being updated. Any ideas? Can acts_as_ferret handle this? Thanks

I''m having an odd problem with Ferret 0.9.5 and acts_as_ferret 0.2.3, on RedHat Linux Enterprise 4. All of my find_by_contents calls return 0 results.

I am using Ferret and acts_as_ferret, as my search back-end for my Rails project. I have a question about using acts_as_ferret on a main table that is linked to other tables by foreign keys.
