Noice words

Ruby Apps Ferret

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

construct your own StandardAnalyzer and specify your custom stop word
list (or
an empty array for no stop words at all).

See
http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Analysis/StandardAnalyzer.html

With aaf you can specify that analyzer like that:

class MyModel
acts_as_ferret( { :fields => { … } }, { :analyzer =>
Ferret::Analysis::StandardAnalyzer.new([]) } )
…

end

note the analyzer option goes into the second argument hash (where all
options go that are handed through to ferret’s Ferret::Index::Index
instance).

one more note - you need to rebuild your index after changing
analyzers.

Thanks a lot Jens. I’ll integrate and then reindex the thing.
