similar to: searching with chinese chars

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: in ''parse'': failed to allocate

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

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?

Hi All, As some of you may have noticed, the Ferret Wiki has been getting spammed like crazy. And I haven''t been able to do anything about it because I just don''t have the time. I''m getting pretty close to releasing 0.10.0 which has been the major draw on my time for the last couple of months so I''m going to have some time to look into this soon. I was

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

Hello, I have just set up an asterisk box (Debian unstable) and I would like to test it with a H.323 application (gnomemeeting). When I call the demo voice menu, I can't hear any sound. asterisk says that the soundfile is played: -- Executing BackGround("H323/ip$212.9.189.172:30005/29597", "demo-congrats") in new stack -- Playing 'demo-congrats' (language

Hi folks, I''ve working and playing with acts_as_ferret and follow this fantastic tutorial: http://www.railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial When I try to implement the field storage tip, it crash. So, I try to make it via script/console: 1. I have a simple model called Articles: class Article < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_ferret :fields =>

Hey all, is there a way to wildcard field searches? As in: - a document like {:title => ''foo'', :description1 => ''bar'', :description2 => ''bar2''} I''d search: index.search("description*: search query") I understand the example above is silly, but it''s enough to make the question understandable :-)

Does anyone knows a working FOSS rating application for Asterisk? I tried CDRTool, but since it's free for non commercial use, it won't suit me. Also I gave a shot at Trabas (the one everybody says it sucks), but I couldn't understand how does it pull records from Asterisk's CDR table. The rate-engine addon (http://www.voip-info.org/tiki-index.php?page=Asterisk+addon+rate-engine)

Hey all, I''ve just released Ferret version 0.10.2. It is mostly just a bug fix release. The only change is that a highlight method has been added to Ferret::Index::Index. Please try it out and let me know what you think. The big news for this release is that there is also a binary win32 gem included. This is the first time I''ve build a gem like this so please let me know if

Hi,David Can you give me an example of how to add analyzer to ferret to Asian languages? My web application will have to support multi language search,which means,for example,both Chinese and English will be searched through the form. Currently,I have decided to use the simple token principles,which means that every Chinese character will be a token,although this is not so well in some

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. #<NameError: cannot remove Object::WildcardQuery>

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

Hi, I''m trying to use highlight ferret method with trunk aaf and 0.10.1 ferret. In my search display I use: Myindexedclass.ferret_index.searcher.highlight(@query, result_line.id, :content) * searcher is a protected method; how can I access to the searcher from aaf ? * is the doc id in aaf the same as my model id ? * is the first param, query, the string query or the query object ?

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)

Lucene''s standard analyzer splits words separater with underscores. Ferret doesn''t do this. For example, if I create an index with only document ''test_case'' and search for ''case'' it doesn''t find anything. Lucene on the other hand finds it. The same story goes for words separated by colons. Which analyzer should I use to emulate

Hi there, I have a model with indexed fields (F1, F2, F3...). I have a field-based search (+F1:..., +F2:...), and a global search (which queries all fields with the given terms). Both of them works ok, but I would like to exclude a term from the global search (though it should remain indexed to support the field-based search), is it possible? Thanks in advance. -- Posted via

Hello all, Quick question (possibly!) - I''ve got a few records indexed and doing a search for ''test'' reports in no hits even though I know the word ''tests'' exists in the indexed field. Doing a search for ''tests'' produces a result. I would have thought that ''test'' would match ''tests'' but no such

Hello, I''m trying to define my own analyzer by doing something like: #----------------------------------------------------- require ''ferret'' include Ferret class MyAnalyzer < Analysis::Analyzer def token_stream(field, str) # Display results of analysis puts ''Analyzing: field:%s str:%s'' % [field, str] t =

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
