I tried out the pure ruby version, but I'm having a little bit of trouble wrapping my head around how to write the filter. It seems that some stuff has changed internally since the sample code that I found at tourb.us was written. I tried looking at the RangeFilter code, but it seems to be solving too different a problem to really be useful as a guide. Do you know of any other filters, or have any pointers to how I would go about writing this filter? It seems really simple, just does a calculation on two of the fields, but because it's not iterating through terms, the RangeFilter code doesn't offer me much help. If you offer some pointers and I manage to get it working, I'd be happy to send you a copy to use as a sample, though it seems like the kind of thing you'd probably be able to write in a few minutes... -- Cheers, Jordan Frank [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
