Hi,
I need to calculate most frequent searches on a particular model. I am
using ferret for searching in full text mode.
For eg: Search on hospital names. I have a form which allows user to
enter a search query, and underneath ferret does the search and provides
the results.
Now, I would like to show the user, some previous search related data
like Most frequent/popular search data.How can i do that? Does ferret
have any inbuilt mechanism for this or do I have to build my own. Please
suggest on ideas as well.
Regards,
SG

If “most frequently searches” are not dependent on user who is
searching,
I mean: these are not user’s most frequenlty searches, then why don’t
you
go with simple integer field in your model that gets increased every
time record
gets listed in search results?
I was only hoping Ferret will have some mechanism to keep track of
searched keywords, based on which it can specify what is the most
searched keyword.
If i have to do manually , i will have to modify multiple rows that were
found in database for every search. Is this the normal way of doing it?
Also, since i do paginate of the results, i end up updating only a few
rows though all other rows also figure in search results.

You could model your search as it own resource. Instead of hacking up
your existing tables, you would just save the search terms in the
search model and use the index view to list previous searches and the
show view to run them again.
