Is there a way to add per-field analyzer? I can''t seem to find a way to do that. Thanks -- Kent --- http://www.datanoise.com

Hey folks, A lot of confusion has been caused by having stop-words filtered by the default analyzer. There have been a few suggestions to remove this feature so I thought I''d put it to a vote. Making this change would not be backwards compatible and would require users to either rebuild their indexes or change their code to keep the same stop-words settings. However, it would save a lot

Hi, We''re using Ferret 0.9.4 and we''ve observed the following behavior. Searching for ''fieldname: foo and bar'' works fine while ''fieldname: "foo and bar"'' doesn''t return any results. Is there a way to make ferret recognize the ''and'' inside the query as a search term and not an operator? (I hope I got the

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 use acts_as_ferret on an app that is in Danish and English. In Danish english words like "and" and "under" has meaning. Is it possible to make ferret search for these words? As it is now a seach for "under" returns nothing even-though I know the word is present in the index. Cheers Mattias

Using acts_as_ferret I''m trying to do a query like: active:(true) title|body:(#{params[:s]}) product_price:( >= #{params[:min]}) Where I want to return only the active products that contain the search term in the title or body and has a minimum price >= params[:min] I''m finding that even though I''m indexing the product price as an integer (so no .00 to cause

I''m having trouble with PerFieldAnalyzer (ferret version 0.10.14). Script: require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' require ''pp'' include Ferret::Analysis include Ferret::Index class TestAnalyzer def token_stream field, input pp field pp input LetterTokenizer.new(input) end end pfa =

Hello, I''m using: Ruby 1.8.6, Rails 1.2.3, ferret 0.11.4, acts_as_ferret from svn stable. I''ve had quite a day wrestling with trying to remove the use of stopwords. The problem was that when searching for words like "no" or "the", no results were found. I found a confusing thing behavior that has taken me some time to figure out, and I hope sharing it

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?

I have got my database in Mysql. I used ferret to index a table with 10 million rows. On limiting the selection of data to 1000 initial retrieval, it takes 200 seconds but for the whole table it took more than four hours and after which i had to close my indexing application. I used the StandardAnalyser for it. There is no problem from the database side as retrieval of all the data in the table

I am using Ferret and acts_as_ferret, as my search back-end for my Rails project. I have a question about using acts_as_ferret on a main table that is linked to other tables by foreign keys. Is there a way to include the information linked by the belongs_to keyword in the search results ? As an example, let''s say I have a main table ''posts'':

Is there any schema of full-text search that support utf-8 especially for Asia language such as Chinese,Japanese,etc. Ferret/acts_as_ferret can not work when these language key words are searched,and also, it is difficult to implement pagination-which need both the count of search results and offset. Very grateful! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hi everybody, In the basic setup acts_as_ferret uses a StandardAnalyzer. How come that it won''t index the headline "some headline" with "some" and "headline". It only uses LetterTokenizer and LowerCaseFilter. Thanks for your help. Michael -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

I am having a bit of a problem with my search queries being parsed correctly it seems, and I wonder if anyone else has experienced this. I have written an index using StandardAnalyzer for analysis. I want to search that index by passing my user query through a QueryParser instance which is also using a StandardAnalyzer. However the resultant query does not seem to be a valid term query and

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

Hi All, Does anyone know if you can user PerFieldAnalyzer with the acts_as_ferret method? My goal is to index fields with different analyzers for a class. Thanks in advance! Miguel -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

We get some unexpected results when using wild card queries. We''re using aaf and Ferret 0.11.4 For exampel, when seraching on a part of a collegues name (kristofer) and limiting it to a specific source_id: Query: source_id:25 AND kri* Result: 2 documents. None of them containg the word kristofer, but other matching words, as "kring" and "kring?" (swedish) Query:

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

require ''rubygems'' require ''ferret'' include Ferret PATH = ''/tmp/ferret_stopwords_test'' index = Index::IndexWriter.new(:path => PATH, :create => true) index.analyzer = Analysis::StandardAnalyzer.new([]) index << {:title => ''a few good men'', :language => ''en''} index.analyzer =

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
