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

Hi, I just installed via script/plugin from the stable svn tag. (Revision 54) I''m running Rails 1.1.2 and have Ferret 0.9.3 (with C extensions. no compilation problems) I put together a simple model to test it and I''m getting a segfault. The model: class Report < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :name] end $ script/console Loading development

our object A has three properties title - a straight db field, open_for_search - a method which returns yes or no site_search - which is a list of codes based on a has_many relationship so our api accepts a title and a list of sites creates object A with object = Object.new object.title = thetitle sites = Site.find_all_by_whatever([whatever]) object.save object.sites << sites Then

Unfortunately I''m a newbie to ruby, rails, and acts_as_ferret. Also, I''m working in code I mostly didn''t write, so I''m kind of unsure of things. So this may be a dumb question. It also may be the same issue as the topic ''Duplicate search results'', but I''m not sure. When I update column values with

Disclaimer: ferret newbie here, don''t blame too hard. Hi, I''m trying to apply acts_as_ferret to apply search to my Person model: class Person < ActiveRecord::Base validates_presence_of :name, :surname acts_as_ferret :fields => [ ''name'', ''surname'' ] ... But when I try to save a new Person instance I get this error:

Hi, I saw someone else have this earlier. The recommendation is still to downgrade to 0.11.3?

Is there any way to debug processes of creating/updating of index and data retrieval? I use ferret (0.10.13) and acts_as_ferret plugin, and it seems that index is being updated - field ''state_or_province_or_region'' has value ''ON'': ferret_create/update: Entity : 1 creating doc for class: Entity, id: 1 Adding field description with value ''Sed metus

I am using acts_as_ferret plugin. ITs working great on my local but when i put it on my textdrive server indexing is not proper. If I delete the indexes created, and search then the new set of indexes seem to work fine. But when I use ferret_create(I have do so for a new entery in my db), the whole indexing thing goes wrong. I get wrong results. Is this due to character encoding? Thanks

How do I use a model that has "acts_as_ferret" defined outside rails? I''ve tried adding this to the top of my model: require "#{RAILS_ROOT}/vendor/plugins/acts_as_ferret/lib/acts_as_ferret.rb" and then defining RAILS_ROOT and RAILS_ENV in my app that uses the model outside rails. That got me this exception:

I am getting these errors after switchign to dRb: It is trying to call ''add'' on MY SourceListing class, not extended with the ferret indexing methods. Any ideas on where to fix this?

Hi, I''m having trouble with ferret and AAF blowing up with a NoMemoryError. Sometimes when I add documents inside my rails app. Ferret starts consuming huge amounts of memory. I''m on a machine with 2GB of memory and it still runs out of memory. Sometimes I''m able to run MyObject.rebuild_index and the memory doesn''t move up at all. However, sometimes it

Hi, This is a recurring issue for me - the index directory on my production server and everything below it occasionally disappears and isn''t reconstructed. I tried manually creating the entire index path manually before starting the server, but it still happened while the server is running. I don''t know what''s causing the index to disappear and I''m also not

We''ve been running into problems with ferret indexing lately. The problem is intermittent and some times it persists. Just got this after wiping the index and redeploying: NoMethodError (undefined method `add'' for Solution:Class): (druby://10.1.65.87:9009) /data/releases/20071111152414/vendor/rails/activerecord/lib/active_record/base.rb:1238:in `method_missing''

I run a script that imports a few thousand records into the database. The script runs once for each of several XML files. What it does is parse the XML and for each element of a certain type creates a record in a rails database that gets indexed with acts_as_ferret. This worked fine before but today after a few files (70000 records) this started to happen for any file I tried:

Folks, Since upgrading to ferret 0.11.4 on Mac OS X Tiger, I''ve been running into constant crashes when running my Rails tests.

Hi all This week I have worked with Rails and Ferret to test Ferrets (and Lucenes) capabilities. I decided to make a mixin for ActiveRecord as it seemed the simplest possible solution and I ended up making this into a plugin. For more info on Ferret see: http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/ The plugin is functional but could easily be refined. Anyway I want to share it with you. Regard it as a
