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

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, I''ve listened in to this mail list for quite a while now but not doing anything with Ferret until I was ready to incorporate it. I''ve used Lucene for years, but not Ferret. I downloaded and installed the ''bleeding edge'' version (lets call it 0.10.9.1). There appears to be a significant re-working of the API happening. It all looks good. But there

I''m using acts_as_ferret to index one of my rails models. Right after I start the app the first request that orders by some ferret field will take very long. Subsequent ones seem to be fast. I guess some caching is going on. Any tips on solving this? Pedro.

I have a sellable flag in my database. I''m trying to have ferret only add/update records where sellable == true. What is the best way to do this? I''ve tried editing instance_methods.rb in the AAF, but I still can''t get it to work. Thanks for the help -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey ... I just tried to convert my code to 0.10 .. But i''m currently not sure how to use fields.. i really like some of the new api.. its leaner and i like the fact that these strange consts are gone (like Ferret::Search::BooleanClause::Occur::MUST) .. I see that you''re now having Ferret::Index::FieldInfo to describe the fields of the index.. thats good.. and i now see that

I am looking at trying to use ferret/aaf to supplement my querying against a medium and large table with lots of columns. Some facts first: Ferret 0.11.4 AAF 0.4.0 Ruby 1.8.6 Rails 1.2.3 Medium table: 105,464 rows 168 columns (mostly varchar(20)) 11 actual columns indexed in aaf plus 40 virtual columns indexed in aaf (virtual is concat of two physical columns. e.g. cast_first_name_1 +

Hello All, I am having an issue with AAF and sorting results of a search. Right now, I have results being split onto pages of 10. The results are being sorted alphabetically, but not across multiple pages - it''s just sorting the 10 it pulls down on each page. I noticed another post from April regarding this same issue (http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/62993#66934) where the issue was

Hi there, I''m working with some legacy data where customer phone numbers are stored with hyphens between the area code, exchange, and number (e.g. 555-555-5555). Is this the best way to store a phone number? Perhaps not, but it''s the way they were being stored, so I have to work with this format. Right, so when I save a record the log tells me acts_as_ferret indexed the

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

I''m getting "uninitialized constant UNTOKENIZED" when I try to do something like the following: class Url < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => {''name'' => {}, ''description'' => {}, ''url'' => {:index => Ferret::Document::Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED},

Hi, We have an index of around 1M web pages as part of our web app. The app uses ferret by way of RDig to perform searches. We have noticed anecdotally that some searches don''t work the way we thought they should, as if documents were missing from the index. Yesterday we came upon a concrete instance of this. Our documents have several fields, one of which is called :keywords and

I''m trying to search a Model by the state field using Acts As Ferret. The query for this is ''+state:NY'' (substitute state abbreviation for NY). This works find however ''+state:OR'' returns nothing, though just ''portland'' will pull up matches within that state. I''m pretty sure it''s reading OR as an or conditional

I''d like to be able to enable/disable the automatic indexing of documents acts_as_ferret does. Something like MyModel.disable_indexing MyModel.enable_indexing would be perfect. I need this because I do some indexing that requires visiting the parents of the model objects and my import method imports the children first, so the information isn''t there yet. I''d like to

Hi! I thought I understood Ferret''s query scoring and how to tweak results using boost values. What I currently experience however, leaves me completely baffled. Perhaps someone can shed some light on the scoring algorithm, because asking Ferret to "explain" the score for a particular document isn''t as informative as I thought. Actually, it confuses me even

Is there any way for the automatic ''rebuild_index'' of ''acts_as_ferret'' from exclude certain records from being included in the index? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi .. I tried to exclude certain objects from my search, by adding appropriate term queries .. i = Ferret::Index::Index.new i.field_infos.add_field(:type, :index => :untokenized, :term_vector => :no) i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Indiana" } i << {:type => "Movie", :name => "Forrest" } i << {:type =>

Hi all, first off, it''s 2AM and I''m not thinking properly, so please forgive me if this one''s easy, but I just need to get this going. First problem, using 0.9.6 on all of our development machines, works great, then we move it to a server running x86_64 linux and it segfaults as soon as it tries to create an Index. I''ve tried rebuilding with different

Hi, I''m new to using ferret (and fairly new to ruby/rails) and I''m having a problem I can''t fathom. Sorry for the long post ...
