Just a heads up.. rebuilding the index did the trick.
http://www.ruby-forum.com/topic/89245
I'm curious though, how many items can Ferret reasonably be expected to
scale to?
And, if anyone has hit Ferret's natural limits, are there any solutions
(i.e. partitioning the index into manageable chunks, etc) that still use
Ferret as the base search indexer / engine?
