Hi.  
I have a heavy data page with lots of possible searches. I moved all to  
Ferret indexes and all is working great, but the tags. I am using  
acts\_as\_taggable to generate tags for the most common terms in the  
search able data.  
I wonder if it is possible to generate the tags without touching  
database, just using Ferret indexes that I already have.
