Hi everyone. First a quick word - I am relatively new to Ruby and Ruby on Rails, but I love learning about it and using it. Currently I am working on extending Boxroom (file repository RoR app) for the CARE Indonsia intranet, where I work as an intern. I am using ferret, and it's working great.
I noticed that if a file contains something like this "applications/entries", this will be parsed as one word, and "applications" as a query will not yield anything, you have to search for "applications*"... This isn't entirely logical, since . , etc presumably are not included. I am quite new to search engines, and not sure exactly about the terminology - does this have something to do with a tokenizer? Where do I change the settings for this? Right now my code is very simple, just a few lines of using inserting the new files, and of searching for them (I love the automatic markup as well!) and I don't want to make my code very complex by using lower level functions, but is there a way I could easily configure the "tokenizing" behaviour (let me know if my terminology is wrong) to split for example "applications/entries" into two words, searchable by themselves? Thank you very much!
