Missing fields in search result

Hello ferret users,

I have a problem with ferret dropping stored fields in the index.

Not all fields I want to store get stored, so they can be searched, but
can’t be retrieved in a search.

Index creation:

INDEX = Index::Index.new(:path => ‘/home/gregor/wisa/index’,
:analyzer => Analysis::WhiteSpaceAnalyzer.new)
SR = Index::IndexSearcher(:path => ‘/home/gregor/wisa/index’,
:analyzer => Analysis::WhiteSpaceAnalyzer.new)

Storing:

initial creation of a lucene index

def create_index
# our central INDEX
index = FerretConfig::INDEX

# get all Companies, iterate over and index them
companies = Company.find(:all)
for company in companies
  doc = Document.new
  doc << Field.new("id",   company.id,           Field::Store::YES, 

Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“country”,
company.company_group.address.country.name, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“name”, company.name, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“zip”, company.address.zip, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“city”, company.address.city, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“street”, company.address.street,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::TOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“sectorid”, company.sector_id, Field::Store::NO,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“parentsectorid”, (company.sector.parent_id ||
“”), Field::Store::NO, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“sector”, company.sector.name, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“parentsector”,
company.sector.breadcrumb.first.name, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“districtid”, company.district_id,
Field::Store::NO, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“district”, company.district.name,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“sales”, sprintf(’%010.4f’, company.sales),
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“employees”, sprintf(’%010d’, company.employees),
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“codesector”, company.code_sector.code,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“codesectorparent”, company.code_sector.parent,
Field::Store::NO, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“codesectorname”, company.code_sector.name,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“cooperation”, company.cooperation.to_i.to_s,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“lastname”, company.contact.lastname,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“firstname”, company.contact.firstname,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“position”, company.contact.position,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“title”, company.contact.title,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“salutation”, company.contact.salutation,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“mail”, company.contact.mail, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“fax”, company.fax, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“phone”, company.phone, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“url”, company.url, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“comments”, company.comments, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::TOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“products”, company.products, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::TOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“state”, company.state.name, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“investorname”, company.company_group.name,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“investorcity”,
company.company_group.address.city, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“investorstreet”,
company.company_group.address.street, Field::Store::YES,
Field::Index::TOKENIZED)
doc << Field.new(“investorzip”, company.company_group.address.zip,
Field::Store::YES, Field::Index::UNTOKENIZED)
index << doc
logger.info "URL: " + doc[“url”] # gets url, so doc is ok
end

# don't close the index, but be sure to write it to the fs
index.optimize()
logger.info "URL 1: " + index[0]["url"] # passed, prints out 

correctly
logger.info "URL 2: " + index[1][“url”] # passed, prints out
correctly
redirect_to(:action => ‘new_index’)
end

Searching:

if (@conditions != conditions)
  @records = Array.new
  sr = FerretConfig::SR
  sr.reader = 

Index::IndexReader.open(Store::FSDirectory.get_directory("/home/gregor/wisa/index"))
qp = Ferret::QueryParser.new(“id”, { :analyzer =>
Ferret::Analysis::WhiteSpaceAnalyzer.new(),
:wild_lower => false})
@records = sr.search(qp.parse(conditions))
end

Search results are correct, but many fields are missing and can’t be
accessed. The only fields in the results are

city, name, zip, country, mail, firstname, lastname, id, phone, fax,
street, sector, parentsector

All others are missing…

Hope someone can help me soon, this is getting me crazy… :-/

Best regards
Gregor

resolved: restarting webrick was all I needed to do (apart from some
other stupid errors in the code…) bangingheadontable
