The following script creates a search index and then searches it. I get no results? Where am I going wrong? Thanks. -----------BEGIN SCRIPT---------------- require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret path = ''/tmp/myindex'' field_infos = Ferret::Index::FieldInfos.new() field_infos.add_field(:name, :store => :yes, :index => :yes)

Hi, i''m working on a project using Ferret for indexing it''s datas. I''m very happy with it but i need to code an extension to implement a .to_json method to TopDocs class, because ruby''s json implementation is really really slow... It''s my second (the first was the tutorial :/ ) ruby C extension, so i''m not really at ease with ruby C

Hi, Using aaf to search pages, I wanted to present excerpts from the texts even when more than one term was used in the search. I came to some results, despite the difficulty caused by Unicode+ruby. The last problem I''m faced is to get the query words, without the logical articulation chars if any. Is there a clean way to get them ? -- Jean-Christophe Michel

Hey folks, Sorry for cross posting like this but this is an important announcement for all Ferret users. ** Description ** Firstly for those who don''t know, Ferret is a full-text search library which makes adding search to your application a breeze. It''s much faster than MySQL full-text search as well most other search libraries out there. It allows you to do Boolean (+ruby +

I noticed that indexing seemed a little slow, so I tried reinstalling the 0.9.1 gem and noticed some errors while it was building the native extensions. Ferret still works with the pure ruby versions, but I''d love to take advantage of the c speed. I''m not real familiar with C, so I was wondering if anyone know what the errors are and if they can be fixed. Thanks -Lee ******

Hi, Am relatively new to the RoR world. My question is quite simple. I have a query like such: shipmentNumbers = Order.find_by_sql(["select distinct s.id from orders o, line_items li, shipment_lines sl, shipments s where o.number=? and o.id = li.order_id and li.id = sl.line_item_id and sl.shipment_id = s.id", number]) The above query works fine. I wanted to do the same query using

Hi, I know that Apache2 + fastcgi is sometimes difficult to setup, but I was wondering if anyone has come across this error and if yes what did you do to resolve it?

I''m still having some crashes on my server that don''t seem to happen on my development system. One difference between them is that the server is running in 64bit mode. Are there any issues running ferret on a 64bit system? I''ve seen some old traffic on the subject but all from about 9 months ago. There are some warnings printed out when I install ferret on the

I''m using ferret 0.10.14 in Linux Fedora 3. When I do highlight with Index::Index#highlight, it works well. But, doing the same test with Searcher#highlight, [BUG] Segmentation fault occurred.

Hi dave, and everyone ;) I''ve finished my extension to export Index.search(..) loaded results into json. Here''s a little benchmark of what i''ve done : >> Benchmark.realtime { INDEX.search(query, :limit => 1000).hits.each { |x| INDEX[x.doc].load.to_json } } => 7.38711595535278 >> Benchmark.realtime { INDEX.search(''type:hardware'',

Hi, We have a RoR app deployed using Apache + fastcgi in production mode. When we make a change to say a controller filie on the server and go back to that page that executes that controller action it takes no effect. Does Rails cache pages and if so how does one force the new page to be used? Thanks,

Hi. I want to learn more about ferret. So I downloaded ferret-0.10.14 and write a simple test script Only query = TermQuery.new(:content, ''program'') gives result.

I have a list of categories, when I delete one of them, I want that item to fade and then get removed. So I do the following: 1. home_controller: def delete @category = Category.find_by_name(params[:name]) @element_id = @category.name Category.delete_all(["name = ?", @category.name]) end 2. delete.rjs: if @element_id page.visual_effect :fade, @element_id

Hi, Is there a concise/ruby way to do the following: [Note: 1 and 2 below are not related.] (1) for p in 0...@order.line_items[k].shipment_lines.length shipline_qty = shipline_qty + @order.line_items[k].shipment_lines[p].quantity end (2) ts = Array.new for tk in s.trackings ts.push(tk) end

Hi, I have a largish index [700MB] which is updated from time to time, requiring me to close and recreate the Ferret::Search::Searcher to use the latest index. My problem is that the first few searches on the new index are slow [by comparison to before the close/recreate], I''m guessing because the new index is being loaded into RAM by my OS and into Ferret as needed. I''m

Hi, I built an index on a free bsd machine using ferret and then ported the index to another machine. While searching from that copied index the searcher generates a file not found error. I have set all the permission right and the files do exist in the directories.on creating index from local machine the searcher finds the index. could any body please tell what might be the problem.

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''m trying to get parallelized ferret indexing working for my AAF indices, based on the example in the O''Reilly Ferret shortcut. However, the resulting indices after merging seem to have no actual documents. I went and made minimal changes to the example in the Ferret shortcut pdf, and indeed can''t get that to work either. I''d appreciate any help

I''ve tried 0.11.4, and it has not yet crashed, even after I removed (most of) the workarounds. However, the same is also true of 0.11.3... I haven''t seen any of these crashes for several days, which is a very good thing. I can''t remember all the workarounds I did to sidestep the crashing; some of them I don''t want to reverse because they actually were also

Hi, I am unable to use the Searcher''s explain method. Anytime I call it, I get Segmentation Faults and it kills the process I have running my Rails site. Has anyone else had this problem?
