similar to: Using the wildcard plus partial searched

Hello all, This script (http://pastie.caboo.se/10872) return this : Total hits = 100 Total hits = 0 This is not cool :( Dave ? Jens ? Someone ? Do you have any idea ? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

i just noticed a weird problem. i can successfully search with full terms like "Fl?chendesinfektionsstufen" or "Regionalan?sthesie" for example and get correct hits. but when i search for those entries with wildcards "Fl?chendesinfektion*" or "Regionalan?s*" it won''t find anything while "*chendesinfektionsstufen" or "*sthesie"

Hello All, I have a rails app that maintains movie data index and uses "acts_as_ferret" for search. I ran into an issue with the scoring of wildcard searches. When I search for word "super*", the record containing the word "superman" is ranked above the one having just "super". Is this normal or am I missing something? Any ideas on how scoring can be

My customers seem to expect that the world of search is dictated by Google. As such they expect all queries except phrase queries to include partial term hits. In other words, searching on "test" also returns "testing". Is there a quick option to enable this or anyway more elegant than gsub''ing the query to add asterisks around each term (except those in phrases of

Hi, Apologies for reposting this for those who read this via ruby-forum, but it didn''t make it to the list before, and the list seems more active... I''m using ferret (via acts_as_ferret) in a somewhat unorthodox manner and am having a strange wildcard problem. Before anyone wonders why we''re doing things this way, the answer is basically that it lets us

Hi All, I was wondering if anyone had experience of extending AAF plugin for Rails to implement a broader query ? The documentation and the demo provided on the http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/ wiki seems to only match full text queries, or partial when using a * wildcard. Ideally, I am trying to acheive something similar to the following (pseudo code): def search @query

I have an application which I''m running using Mongrel and Apache as described here http://www.napcs.com/howto/rails/deploy/. I have a model Person which I am attempting to use acts_as_ferret with. When I first try to do a search the index begins to get built but it its fails halfway through with the following error in the browser: === Proxy Error The proxy server received an invalid

Hi all, the current acts_as_ferret trunk is now ported to Ferret 0.10. Get it while it''s hot at svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/trunk/plugin Nearly everything works, besides this: - all queries are ORed (no way to tell the QueryParser to build AND queries by default) - more_like_this is broken I''m working with Dave to fix these things soon. The last Ferret 0.9.x

Hi all, when I type this: ruby script/plugin install svn://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/tags/stable/acts_as_ferret from my rails project the plugin is not getting installed, its simply going back to my rails application. I don''t find the plugin in the vendor/plugin directory I am using Instant Rails for your information. Could anyone please let me know whats going wrong...

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 Does acts_as_ferret support a :group clause? For e.g any rails options like :select or :group etc? or is it that it supports only few of such options?Like it supports :include Thanks -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Hi! Aaf trunk has undergone several major refactorings the last days, with the result that you can now transparently switch your app from local to remote indexing and back :-) If you plan to scale your app to more than one physical machine, or if you have problems with corrupted indexes and the like under high load, you really should give this a try. I wrote some documentation to get you

Hi, i''ve a project in wich i have 2 different rails apps accessing the same DB. The backoffice, as usual, changes data. The frontoffice has a search capabilities with acts_as_ferret (paginated) for search. Maybe this is a newbie question but, when i delete index and restart front app all the articles are indexed, but the new one''s (via backoffice) are not searchable. Does

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. Is there a way to include the information linked by the belongs_to keyword in the search results ? As an example, let''s say I have a main table ''posts'':

I''m using acts_as_ferret and have indexed a model with acts_as_ferret :fields => [:name, :ascii_name, :alt_names], :single_index => true. Now in the index directory more than 95.000 files are generated! The number of tuples I''m indexing is approx. 86.000. I can''t remember this from earlier ferret/acts_as_ferret versions where I''ve indexed millions of

Just curious, is there anyway to use memcache with a ferret index? Thanks, Ray -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

No, that search model is just a plain class that backs your search form. If you want to

Hey guys, I know I can run search(q).total_hits, but if I try to put :limit=>0 it gives me an error. I don''t want it actually query any of the results, I just want it to tell me how many total_hits I would have if I wanted to search it. How can I do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I have a site with two indexes. Index A is created offline by RDig and queried from the web via RDig (specifically, RDig.searcher.search). Index B is managed by AAF with :remote => true. Simple enough. However, I need to query both indexes from RDig. Usually this is ok, as I modified RDig to accept an array of search_paths with an element for index A and index B. However, when Index

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
