seems to be easier to switch your working env to Linux or OS/X than
getting Ferret to build on Windows ;-)

aaf does store the index in the filesystem. The default path for doing
so is RAILS_ROOT/index/<environment>/class_name. So if your class is
named Article and you're in development mode, the index will be stored
in RAILS_ROOT/index/development/article/.
If you like, you can specify another index directory with the index_dir
option:
class Article
acts_as_ferret :index_dir => "#{RAILS_ROOT}/shared/index/article"
