searching with chinese chars
Hi all,
maybe not a Ferret question, but I assume here might have came across
that already.
I wrote a simple CGI app that adds docs into a Ferret index. The idea
is testing asian languages input and searching.
The script that does the input seems to be OK. As David mentioned in a
question I made a little while ago, Ferret''s index is agnostic, in the
sense that you can store anything in

Ferret and non latin characters support
I''ve successfully installed ferret and acts_as_ferret and have no
problem with utf-8 for accented characters. It returns correct results
fot e.g. fran?ais. My problem is with non latin characters (Persian
indeed). I have tested different locales with no success both on Debian
and Mac. Any idea?

index returns all results for specific queries
Hey all,
I''m getting some really weird results when searching documents. It
*seems* to be somehow related to the document format I''m using.
I wrote a small script to replicate it:
################
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require ''rubygems''
require ''ferret''
include Ferret
index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/tmp/fooindex'', :key

"ö" causes find_by_contents not to return
I''ve installed ferret 0.10.9 together with the latest acts_as_ferret
using Windows XP and indexed a location database (geonames.org) with
Location.rebuild_index. The data is in utf-8.
Now calling Location.find_by_contents "?" does not return a result,
causes a lot of CPU load, and finally exits with an error "index.rb:702:

ferret using UTF-8
Hey all,
I went through the docs in Ferret''s page, plus a quick search through
the email list (thread titles), and I couldn''t find any info on how to
have Ferret storing it''s data using UTF-8.
In the scenario I would use it, nothing''s being stored outside (like
external databases). So it''s just how Ferret would do it that I''m
interesting in

Ferret problems with Rails 1.2.1
Hi, I''ve just updated rails from 1.1.6 to 1.2.1 and I''m getting the
following errors whenever I load a page that uses a class that uses
ferret. I have ferret 0.10.13 and acts_as_ferret. They were working
fine before the upgrade.

[ActsAsFerret] OpenSolaris (TextDrive) indexing issues
Gents,
I successfully installed AAF on my TextDrive OpenSolaris Container, but
I''m having some issues with indexing.
I have a model called Blogs which has AAF enabled.
The first time I tried to find_by_contents for a ''word'' I know was on
the Database I got now results. Apparently the index was not ready yet.
Then I waited a few hours and checked that the /index

project directions
Hey all,
just recently I stumbled upon this
http://ferret.davebalmain.com/trac/timeline
which seemed like good news. I thought Ferret was put on hold or
perhaps dying, and having participated recently in a few discussions
with people who also thought that was the case, I didn''t have a good
answer for it.
So, is anyone informed if there will be some development going on

Ferret locks up when adding items to an index
I''m running Ferret 0.9.5 on a MacBook Pro (OS X 10.4.7) under
Locomotive 2.0.7.
I have a problem where Ferret is hanging when I try to add items to
the index. It doesn''t happen with every object that''s being indexed,
and I''m not sure what the objects in question have in common (they
are not all instances of the same ActiveRecord object). The process

Ferret 0.9.0-alpha (port of Apache Lucene to pure ruby)
Hi Folks,
I''ve just released version 0.9.0. This latest version of Ferret is an
alpha release. I have removed the old c extension and Ferret is now
running on a fully ported C library. This has allowed some huge
performance improvements both with regard to memory and CPU usage.
There will probably be a few portability issues to start with. It has
been developed on Linux so it should

Ferret 0.3.0 released
Hi folks,
This latest release of Ferret has a lot of improvements. There have
been substantial improvements to performance. Try it for yourself to
see. I won''t be publishing any numbers just yet. I will say though
that it''s still about 2-4 times slower than Lucene with the extension
installed. There is also some performance improvements in the pure
Ruby version if you

Ferret 0.11.1-rc2
Hey guys,
Just released Ferret 0.11.1. Hopefully this will fix *most* of the
problems people were having. Now that I know gcc hides stack overflows
on Ubuntu because -fstack-protector is set, I won''t get caught by that
one again. Anyone know any other gotchas I should be aware of on
Ubuntu.
Please try the new version and let me know if you are still having
problems with it. I have until

Similar words
Is there a way to get a list of similar words to the ones a user has
searched for?
So if they search for (in my case) transferaze which has no matches I
can get back an array like this [''transferase''] ?
I know I can just add ~ on the end to make it fuzzy, but what I''d like
is to be able to say "Sorry, no matches for ''transferaze''. Did you

Ferret seg-faulting during search
Hi,
I''m using ferret and running into troubles with it seg faulting during
searches. The index I''m searching is static and is only updated in an
offline way once every couple weeks.
The segfault isn''t deterministically reproducible, but if I hammer
ferret hard enough I can reliably get it to crash. The problem seems to
have something to do with how memory is shared
