hi, ive been reading up on ferret, acts_as_ferret, and other search plugins for rails.
after reading about ferret, i found out about the acts_as_ferrt plugin. my first question about acts_as_ferret: 1. from reading about ferret, do i still need to manually save the IDX and add a IDX column field to my model table for acts_as_ferret to work? they say that acts_as_ferret handles everything, but i wasnt sure what exactly does it handle when compared to the ferret tutorials that i read. 2. is there a complete tutorial online for acts_as_ferret plugin? so far all the blogs that i came across pretty much say the same thing. 3. does acts_as_ferret do this? if i specify acts_as_ferret to index just title column in my 'recipe' table, and if someone types 'bbq plate' in the search box, will these recipes with the following title match? "island bbq style plate" "bbq ribs" "potato plate salad" "my bbq plate" if so, will the one with the most matching text like "my bbq plate" be listed as #1? Thanks for the help! -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
