Glad that you now have a working solution for you, but just for the record (and for future searchers), although the acts_as_xapian project seems to have been unmaintained since July, there are two other active projects building Ruby wrappers on top of Xapian: xapit (http:// github.com/ryanb/xapit/blob/master/README.rdoc) and xapian-fu (http:// github.com/johnl/xapian-fu). We maintain a listing of current wrappers in the Xapian wiki at http://trac.xapian.org/wiki/FAQ/RubyWrappers I don't know why acts_as_xapian was having problems giving you spelling corrections in a useful way: Xapian's interface returns the suggested spell-corrected query, which seemed to be what you wanted, so I don't know why acts_as_xapian wasn't doing this. -- Richard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
