Hey, Has anyone managed to bypass or fix the ferret''s .dump method problem? When I include acts_as_ferret my whole rails app just blows up because of Ferret''s .dump method. Ex: --- print "\t hello".dump >> "\t hello">Exit code: 0 --- --- require ''ferret'' print "\t hello".dump >> " hello"(NUL

Hi, I just installed via script/plugin from the stable svn tag. (Revision 54) I''m running Rails 1.1.2 and have Ferret 0.9.3 (with C extensions. no compilation problems) I put together a simple model to test it and I''m getting a segfault. The model: class Report < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :name] end $ script/console Loading development

A lot has been made recently about the need to freeze your gems for production deployment on a shared server so your application can depend on it''s own gem version instead of being subjected to whatever gem is installed on the server, but does this rule of thumb come with an exception? Architecture dependent gems such as RMagick, Ferret and Unicode have dependencies that cannot be

Hi List, I''ve took some time and made some tests on the performance of java-lucene, hyperestraier and ferret as Dave encourages the community of ferret to do so. Quite intersting numbers. Ferret indeed deserves to be called a high-performance port!! It''s MyFirstBenchmark ( http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/MyFirstBenchmark ) so please don''t be too cruel on

I''ve implemented Ferret, using the instructions here: http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowToIntegrateFerretWithRails I get no errors in the application at all... however, I always get 0 results. I built an index off of some data, it exists in the index/ directory, the form submits find... etc... Just 0 results... all the time :) I confirmed the data from my models is being put

Hey all, I''ve just released Ferret 0.10.3. It is mostly just a bugfix release. I''ve also added Ferret::Analysis::HyphenFilter which filters hyphenated words for better search results. Basically the way it works is it concatenates a hyphenated word as well as adding the two separate terms. So "set-up" becomes "setup", "set", "up" so

I''m building a new index from scratch based on a number of documents stored in a database loaded using my Rails env (using Ruby Ferret 0.9x (installed today with Gem) on Windows). At first everything goes nice but after a number of documents it starts to go slower and slower until it grinds to a halt (at least feels like it). Am I doing something wrong? Is there some way to work

I tried adding a FULLTEXT search index to a table of mine in MySQL, only to discover that the InnoDB table format doesn''t seem to support this feature. Switching to the MyISAM table type seemed to work, but I seem to have some recollection that ActiveRecord transactions aren''t fully atomic on MyISAM tables. Is this true or am I just remembering wrong? If so, does anyone have

Hi. First of all I would like to say "thank you" to David for its really valuable work. Ferret is a great project and it have great future. Well now is my questions as beginner in Ferret. How to remove ALL documents from index. Remove files is not a solution. I am interesting in something like index.remove_index or something like this. What is a usual way of doing it?? What is the

Hey all, I went through the docs in Ferret''s page, plus a quick search through the email list (thread titles), and I couldn''t find any info on how to have Ferret storing it''s data using UTF-8. In the scenario I would use it, nothing''s being stored outside (like external databases). So it''s just how Ferret would do it that I''m interesting in

Does ferret only index, when you create, or udpate a record? Is there a way to make it index prexisting records? Thanks. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The ferret webpage at http://ferret.davebalmain.com/ has been down for a number of days. Any idea what''s going on? or how to notify the webmaster? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi everyone, I''m pretty new to Lucene and Ferret, so I feel that this is most likely myself not completely understanding the correct way to do this. I haved indexed ~2200 text files (of various sizes), and I am now running searches on the index to get a feel for Lucene and Ferret. In my first program, which is using Lucene I search for ''influenza'' and get the

Hi all, Sorry if this is answered somewhere -- I am new to ruby and to linux, and can''t figure it out: When I try to install ferret (see below), I get ERROR: While executing gem ... (Gem::Installer::ExtensionBuildError). Same thing happens for any version I pick from th list. I am using: gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 (Ubuntu 4.1.2-0ubuntu4) ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i486-linux] gem 0.9.4 No idea

I''m getting a segmentation fault on a large index (15GB). I''m running ferret 0.11.4 on OpenSuSE 10.2 with ruby 1.8.6. The segmentation fault appeared after I optimized the index, see further below for the error message I got before that. Ferret works perfectly on other (smaller) indexes. Is this a known issue, and if so, is there a workaround? --------------------- after

The current full-text search will return the AND collection results,for example,if we use Article.search("aa bb"),then the articles that include "aa" and "bb" in the fields will be returned,how to return the articles that include "aa" OR "bb" effectly? A stumb method is to setup two queries respectly and collect them together with remove the

Hi all, I''m newly discovering Ferret, and just did a crash course on Lucene to (I get the concepts behind it). But I''m have a few doubts: 1. What is the ''recommended'' way of integrating Ferret into my app now? The gem version or the plugin? 2. Where do I checkout the plugin from? Do I just copy the version on the wiki? Those apart, Ferret is really

Hi I''ve written ferret_helper.rb (FerretHelper module) containing wrapper methods for converting PDF, HTML, Open Document and Microsoft Word files to plain text for the Ferret index analysers. To help test it I wrote a simple ff.rb (Ferret Finder) command-line utility to index and search document files. You can download the code at http://www.methods.co.nz/ff/ Cheers, Stuart --
