I am trying get acts_as_ferret working in my rails applications. I have installed the ferret
gem. Installed the acts_as_ferret
plugin.
This is what my model looks like now.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_ferret :fields => {
:first_name => {},
:last_name => {}
}
I have even tried
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_ferret :fields => [:first_name, :last_name]
Now I opened script/console
Here is the code I wrote and the response I got
User.first
# => <Jobseeker id: 1, first_name: "Chirantan", last_name: "Rajhans"\>
User.find(:first, :conditions => ["first_name like ?", '%chi%'])
# => <Jobseeker id: 1, first_name: "Chirantan", last_name: "Rajhans"\>
User.find_with_ferret 'chi'
# => []
User.find_with_ferret '%chi%'
# => []
User.find_with_ferret 'Chirantan'
# => []
I even tried rebuilding the index. Did not work. The ferret log shows that everything is going well.
Here is the snapshot of the log.
[user] rebuild index with models: [User(id: integer, login: string, email: string, crypted_password: string, salt: string, created_at: datetime, updated_at: datetime, remember_token: string, remember_token_expires_at: datetime, first_name: string, middle_name: string, last_name: string, url_id: string, active: boolean, feature_profile: boolean, type: string, company_id: string)]

I was testing this in development mode in the console. Is there a step that I have missed or do I need some indexing process running (Like in ThinkingSphinx)? What am I doing wrong?
