Hi Jan, Thanks for the detailed explanation. I myself tried to install ferret on windows. After going through a lot of hoops I gave up. I hit the dead end after a lot of work.
Anyway I spoke to my hosting provider about using ferret installed on their server and they allowed me to work with it. That was nice given that I would be doing sort of development work there. I used aaf and everything works like a charm. Since the only thing I did was to add a line stating 'acts_as_ferret', I believe the indexing is being done on the memory. In order to get the indexing on the hard drive I need to do something like index = Index::Index.new(:path => '/path/to/index') When I'm using aaf where do I specify this path. How do I tell aaf to keep all the indexed information at a particular path rather than keeping it in memory. thanks.
