Hi, I am experiencing very poor performance when updating my index. For example, to update the index for 10 documents, it is taking 3 to 4 seconds. My index is currently very small... with probably less than 100 docs in it. I have created my index as follows: GIFT_INDEX = Index::Index.new(:path => "#{index_dir}/gift", :key => ''id'', :auto_flush => true)

I''m just wondering where I would put the pagination for search results when using "acts_as_ferret". At the moment my search code is.. def search @query = params[:query] || '''' unless @query.blank? @results = Tutorial.find_by_contents @query end end Cheers SchmakO -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

The acts_as_ferret documentation says find_by_content returns an instance of SearchResults, but I see this error when I try to use the results. undefined method `total_hits'' for []:Array Here is the link to the documentation: http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/rdoc/classes/FerretMixin/Acts/ARFerret/ClassMethods.html#M000010 But here is the actual code: result =

Hi, I have some code to rebuild my ferret indexes but occasionally some stale documents remain in the index even after rebuilding. The only way I could find around this is to manually delete the index files from the filesystem. Here is the code I have for rebuilding one of my indexes for Gifts: # delete existing entries INDEX.size.times {|i| INDEX.delete(i)} gifts =

I would like to give the 0.9.0 version of Ferret a try on my application hosted on TextDrive. I am currently running on the 0.3.2 version there. Does anyone have any tips on installing it locally there? I know just enough about Ruby gems to get by... but I am thinking it could be as easy as passing a -i flag to specify the install location for ferret. Then, the only thing I am not sure about

I am trying to use Ferret for searching for users based on first and last name. In my index, I am adding the first_name, last_name, and a full_name which is basically "#{first_name} #{last_name}". I am searching the index using something like the following query: INDEX.search_each(%Q/first_name:#{query}* OR last_name:#{query}* OR full_name:#{query}*/) do |doc, score| The problem I am

Hey all, After dabbling with ActiveSearch, we''re coming back around to take another look at Ferret. ActiveSearch slowed to a crawl after indexing about 20k documents, each 20 lines each. This time we may attempt to create multiple Ferret indexes (isolating each organization''s data individually), since we eventually could have upwards of 20k documents for some

I have a route that depends on a username being passed in the URL, such as: map.connect '':username'', :controller => ''user'', :action => ''show'' Is there a way to perform a lookup of the username before matching on this route? I am hoping to be able to do something like this (completely made up): :requirements => {:username =>

Hi, I am using Ferret 0.9.4 and my index appears to be corrupt as any attempt to read or write it causes a segmentation fault. I had been using it with minimal problems for the past few months. Is there a way to fix this without rebuilding the entire index? Since I am on a shared host ferret takes too much memory to rebuild these roughly 8500 records in one go and in the past I have had to

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

Hi, I am changing a very standard old school website to rails. When I make the change to rails, all of the old urls will not be valid. If a person has a bookmark to an old web page I would like them to be directed to the front page of the new website www.domain.com. How do I do this? Do I do something in routes.rb? Thanks, Peter

We''ve been running Ferret for a few months on our site with great result. But, just a monent ago the index suddenly became corrupt. It all started with this error message: :108250 is out of range [0..108183] for IndexWriter#[] /usr/local/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ferret-0.10.9/lib/ferret/index.rb:382:in `[]'' And after that every search resulted in this error: A IOError

I''m using a legacy table, where the unique id is not ''id'' I have a Model class like the following: class Article < ActiveRecord::Base set_primary_key "ARTICLE_ID" end however, using a link_to like the following (modified scaffolding), the link has no id value: <% for article in @articles %> <tr> <% for column in

Hi. I copied the layout-example from agile web dev. in rails. When I want to use ajax to create a search field including <head><%= javascript_include_tag "prototype" %></head> does''nt work when I include the line in my app/views/layout/demo.rhtml.

The document describes search(query, options) sort: An array of SortFields describing how to sort the results. I have created index with two fields: ''file'' and ''content'' When I give SortField name as ''file'' while searching, it results into error. The exact command given by me: index.search_each("sleepless AND dreams", :num_docs

Hi All, As some of you may have noticed, the Ferret Wiki has been getting spammed like crazy. And I haven''t been able to do anything about it because I just don''t have the time. I''m getting pretty close to releasing 0.10.0 which has been the major draw on my time for the last couple of months so I''m going to have some time to look into this soon. I was

Hi, I followed the howto to use keys for documents: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/wiki/HowTos#Howtousekeysfordocument If I add two documents with the same id, only one gets added to the index as expected. However, I have found the key and id do not match. So, attempting to access the index with the id does not work. For instance, when I run this search: INDEX.search_each(query) do

Hi all, I have recently configured rails to run under apache. I''ve tried adding a stylesheet using the stylesheet_link_tag function, however when I load the page I do not see the affects of the stylesheet. The URL to the stylesheet looks correct when viewing the page''s source. Has anyone else seen this problem? Thanks for your help, Chris -- Posted via

Is there a place where I can put a method that can be accessed in both views and controllers? Here''s the situation, maybe someone can suggest a better way to go about this: I created my own custom login system with email verification and user roles (basically, I tinkered around with SaltedHashLoginGenerator until I finally gave up and wrote my own). One role, of course, is an admin
