Hello Dave,
Sorry for responding so late. I am actually using Ferret via the 
acts_as_ferret Rails plugin.

I have a problem with small words, especially when I search for them 
between quotes. For example, I have indexed the following sentence:
"e-commerce growth strategy for a major business to leverage key 
intangible assets"

When I search for the sentence '"for a"' (not just 'for AND a' but the 
sentence "for a"), I don't get any results. Is there a way to impose to 
Ferret to return results _strictly_ containing certain words (i.e. exact 
results, not approximate results) ?

I am also experiencing problems with words containing special characters 
(especially words separated with dashes). Is there a way to send a raw 
query to Ferret without having to escape the special characters ?


Thank you for your help,
Maxime Curioni
