Can you elaborate on why? I'm mostly just curious :) To the parent... the ferret PDF booklet is pretty full of good information if you stick with ferret. I don't however remember if it discusses how to handle words with apostrophes in it. It does talk about how to hand plurals via the StemFilter though. http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Analysis/StemFilter.html -philip --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Deploying Rails" group.
