Hi Charlie,
I'm afraid I can't reproduce the problem here. So unless someone else
can help you I see you have two options. Try reproducing the problem
with a small script like this:
require 'rubygems'
require 'ferret'
index = Ferret::I.new(:or_default => false)
index << "Bash Guide for Beginners"
puts index.search('Bash Guide for Beginners')
index.close
Or you could send me the index off-list and I'll have a look at it here.
Cheers,
Dave
