Hi all, first up, big thanks to Dave for doing the hard work of porting Lucene. I have come to love Lucene through my Java work and was extremely pleased to find the Ferret project for Ruby. Now, I am tinkering with building the C extension using Visual Studio 2005. So far, I have had some success in getting something built and working in my Rails app (diffs attached). I am also encountering a

I was trying to install ferret 0.9.2 on solaris (SunOS 5.8) which does not have a sys/dir.h nix_io.c:5:21: sys/dir.h: No such file or directory make: *** [nix_io.o] Error 1 I couldn''t find an obvious way around this... any suggestions?

Hello all, Quick question (possibly!) - I''ve got a few records indexed and doing a search for ''test'' reports in no hits even though I know the word ''tests'' exists in the indexed field. Doing a search for ''tests'' produces a result. I would have thought that ''test'' would match ''tests'' but no such

During our last week of Ferret / aaf usage (also our first week of Ferret / aaf usage), I have received 8 messages stating that our app encountered a Ferret::QueryParser::QueryParseException. For instance: A Ferret::QueryParser::QueryParseException occurred in foo#search: Error occurred in src/q_parser.y:279 - yyerror couldn''t parse query "com -- 404". Error message

I''ve gotten several problems with C ferret crashing ruby. Here''s the stack trace of my latest case: #0 0x00000050 in ??

According to the following link: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/QueryParser.html :handle_parser_errors => true is enabled by default and seems to be in acts_as_ferret in class_methods.rb of the plugin. However, when I pass a special character as a query (e.g., !, -, <, >, etc) it throws an error and pukes. -- snip -- Error occured in src/q_parser.y:279 - yyerror

I noticed that indexing seemed a little slow, so I tried reinstalling the 0.9.1 gem and noticed some errors while it was building the native extensions. Ferret still works with the pure ruby versions, but I''d love to take advantage of the c speed. I''m not real familiar with C, so I was wondering if anyone know what the errors are and if they can be fixed. Thanks -Lee ******
