Hehe. I hadn't seen this either. Seth Fitzsimmons, if you're out there, nice work. I'm going to be adding a DRb server to Ferret soon. I'll definitely be checking out your code.

The way I would go about debugging it, though, is to store all the fields in the index. Then if you look at a certain document in the index and it contains the data you're searching for but doesn't get matched in the search results it is a bug. In this case you can send me a zipped up copy of the index and I'll fix the problem. Otherwise I'm not sure there's much else we can do (unless you can give me ssh access to your server).
