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, I just tagged acts_as_ferret 0.2.2 as the current stable version, so get it while it''s hot ;-) new features: - added support for the multiple models/single index approach. - find out the total number of search results by calling total_hits on the array returned by find_by_contents. fixes: - trac tickets #20 (find_by_contents breaks ferret sorting) and #24

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, just wanted to officially announce the release of acts_as_Ferret 0.3.0.

Hi all, I just wanted to let you know that I built some Debian (Sarge) packages to allow an apt-get only installation of Mongrel, Ruby and friends. Also contained is an init script that is capable of managing multiple applications. Support for the Pen load balancer is also included. More info can be found there:

Hi folks, just wanted to let you know that I''ve updated the Mongrel Debian/Sarge packages. please see that blog post [1] for install instructions.

Hi, I''m working on an aaf bug report that led me to what I think is a bug in Ferret itself. The snippet at http://pastie.caboo.se/12950 shows the problem, the last two lines should imho only return one result, because of :offset => 1 or :limit => 1, but both return all (that is, 2) results (Ferret 0.10.4).

Hi! RDig is a small tool to build a Ferret index for the contents of a website or intranet. It contains a simple HTTP crawler and some support for extracting textual content from the fetched pages. I built this to implement a site-wide search for a recent project that combined a Rails application with lots of static html files generated by a CMS. Any feedback is very welcome! Rubyforge

Hi folks! Just wanted to let you know that I released aaf 0.4.0 on last weekend. Besides the DRb server it also includes a new lazy loading feature that lets you do ferret searches without actually loading any records from the DB. Useful e.g. for live searches: model: class MyModel acts_as_ferret :fields => { :title => { :store => :yes }, :content => {} } end controller:

Hi, first of all: great work! I''d like to know which Lucene Version Ferret is based on, in other words: will I be able to read/write indexes created with current lucene trunk ?

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