Hi all This week I have worked with Rails and Ferret to test Ferrets (and Lucenes) capabilities.

Hi, I have a user model that has a city field which is searchable using acts_as_ferret.

I am currently using activerecord without rails and I''d like to use the acts_as_ferret plugin as it works well with activerecord. How do I take advantage of the acts_as_ferret without rails installed? Is this possible? If someone could provide me with direction on how this would be done, that would be greatly appreciated. I assume that since active record works without rails that all

How can I index and search RoR model objects in a case insensitive manner? In Ferret there is the LowerCaseFilter (http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Analysis/LowerCaseFilter.html). How can I utilize it and other filters with acts_as_ferret? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi all, I cannot make aaf (rev. 220) use my custom analyzer, despite following the indications @ http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/wiki/AdvancedUsage To pinpoint the problem, I created a model + a simple analyzer with 2 stop words : "fax" and "gsm". test 1 : model.rebuild_index + model.find_by_contents("fax") # fax is a stop word. => I get a

Hey guys, I know I can run search(q).total_hits, but if I try to put :limit=>0 it gives me an error. I don''t want it actually query any of the results, I just want it to tell me how many total_hits I would have if I wanted to search it. How can I do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
