Question is a bit unclear, you want just to use Ferret for indexing? Yes that's possible.
You want to do anything else with those indexes? Tell us, what you want to do. But I would recommend using Sphinx instead of Ferret. People had quite some trouble with Ferret, everything working fine in development, but as soon as they went into production, the thing was troublesome to get working on the server and in several cases keywords where not added to the index with no obvious reason. In our company we had worked on another companies project, kind of image search with tags. They had 150.000 images, of which 30.000 where missing in the index. Rebuilding the index was no help at all. Switching to Sphinx solved the problem in no time at all. Search this forum if you want to know more, there where quite some discussions going about this. http://www.sphinxsearch.com/ http://blog.evanweaver.com/files/doc/fauna/ultrasphinx/classes/ActiveRecord/Base.html http://kpumuk.info/ror-plugins/using-sphinx-search-engine-in-ruby-on-rails/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
