similar to: Grouping results.

Hi, Following problem: We have a tree structure with children and a root element (recursivly) stored in one table (imagine a threaded forum). Each of the children has a title which should be indexed by ferret. Now we want to make a search that returns only the root and searches all items. So if one node has "expensive" and nother node has "car" I want to enter

I have a general question about using a Ferret/Lucene index for grouping results. I am not sure how much of the heavy lifting the index can do for me, so I would appreciate any input. I am using ferret to index some objects that have the following properties: url, image_url, price, tags (space separated tags), created_at I would like search the index for any documents that match a specific

Using Ferret for searching, I''ve got results that I need to link to. Which is fine, except for that they''re displayed on paginated pages using Rails paginate function - so it''s not like I can''t get it from the database or anything else. Anyone have any ideas on how to go about this? It''s not so much a coding problem as a theory problem, and I

I started using robotcoop''s CachedModel class in my project but have encountered problems when using it with the acts_as_ferret plugin. It seems it doesn''t index everything in my STI model, also if I do a search from my base STI class I get a result count but no results. If I run the same search from one of the children STI models I get the appropriate results (if the information

Hi I''m using the acts_as_ferret to index one table in my database. The table contains formation about listed items and each of these items belongs to a section and a category. On the results page I want to have two drop down boxes whose contents are populated depeneding on the returned results. So for example the section drop down should only show sections that exist in the result set,

Hi, I have this maddening strange bug using acts_as_ferret. If I search for a given phrase (let''s say "xyz") I get one set of results (lets call them set A). I search for xyz again and I get set A again. I search for xyz a third time and I get a different set (set B). I can keep executing the search query and my result sets continue to cycle a-a-b-a-a-b-a-a-b. It''s

Hi, I am using some custom fields for ferret indexing to include fields from associated models. When those child models are updated, I do ferret_update on the parent model. Unfortunately, that takes very long, depending on the number of associated child models. That is because every child model is called to re-index the parent, instead of just the changed one. What can I do to speed up

I have built a tree navigation for pages I have in a site, that loads the content of each page into FCK editor. The parent nodes are shown at the beginning, and the child nodes are in display:none hidden divs that are toggled with scriptaculous bindup and binddown. If the user clicks on one of the children, I want that div to remain visible on page refresh. I''m pretty new with app

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

If searching multiple indexes with a single searcher is there anyway to identify which index a resulting doc is stored in? i1 = Ferret::I.new i2 = Ferret::I.new i1 << {:id=>1,:text=>"random stuff"} i1.commit reader = Ferret::Index::IndexReader.new([i1.options[:dir],i2.options[:dir]]) searcher = Ferret::Index::IndexSearcher.new(reader) query =

Hi, I just upgraded from acts_as_ferret 0.2/Ferret 0.9.x to acts_as_ferret 0.3/ferret .10.9, and i''m getting a strange behavior: searches are returning far too many results, most of them superflous. i''ll paste in my code below, it''s pretty simple. i''m googling like mad, and going through both the source and the forums, and having trouble finding what could

I seem to be getting the same document multiple times in my search results. I''m wondering if this is because by default a document is placed in the search results every time the word you''re looking for shows up. Is that the way it works? Thanks, Carl

I have the acts_as_ferret plugin installed. Everything searches great, but I would like to limit the results (i.e. by ''end_date'') and sort them (by ''end_date''). ''end_date'' is a valid column in my "posts" table. Here''s the code I have already: @posts = Post.find_by_contents(params[:query]) params[:query] comes from a

Hello ferret users, I have a problem with ferret dropping stored fields in the index. Not all fields I want to store get stored, so they can be searched, but can''t be retrieved in a search. Index creation: INDEX = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/home/gregor/wisa/index'', :analyzer => Analysis::WhiteSpaceAnalyzer.new) SR =

I have ferret setup in my model with multiple fields, but when I do a search on the value that might be stored in two fields, I get no results. Here''s an example: "Jim 12333" Where Jim is a name field, and 12333 is a zip code. I have this in my model: acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ''name'', ''zip'' ] I''m not sure

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

Hey, I''m probably just missing something really obvious but I''ve been stuck on this problem for a while now and I''m not getting anywhere. I have installed the acts_as_ferret gem, as well as ferret according to the tutorial on RailsEnvy. My model, controller, and environment.rb files have all been modified as per that turotial. However any attempts to use the

Hi all, When submitting a master/detail form I first want to handle the children before saving the parent. There are has_many and belongs_to relations between the parent and the children, so I can edit the children using (psuedo-)code like: child.destroy for deleting, child.update_attributes for updating and @parent.children.push(child) for adding child-records. I update the parent by using:

How would you go about searching only a specific set of IDs in acts_as_ferret? Should I just create a huge "or" query or is there a more stylish way? Thanks, Winton -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

disclaimer: am in the midst of my first ruby/rails project I have a situation where I want several child records to be created when a new parent record is created. The following represents my first stab at coding it, am I on the right track? Here is the model: parents ---------- id name children ---------- id parent_id name class Parent < ActiveRecord::Base has_many: children end
