this shouldn't happen. Do you build your index through acts_as_ferret ?
The cause of your problem seems to be that there's a different anylyzer
in use for query parsing than the one that was used for building the
index. usually queries should get analyzed the same way as contents to
avoid those problems.

try to specify an analyzer in your call to acts_as_ferret:
acts_as_ferret( { :fields => [ .. field list, may be a hash, too ] },
{ :analyzer => Ferret::Analysis::StopAnalyzer.new } )
Please let me know if this helps.
