could you be a little bit more specific in what you want to do? For finding out if a phrase occurs in a single piece of text a regex could be sufficient, but I doubt that's what you're asking for :-) of course you can do this with ferret, too: require 'rubygems' require 'ferret' index = Ferret::I.new index << 'your text here' top_docs = index.search 'text' puts 'found text' if top_docs.total_hits > 0 Jens -- Jens Krämer webit!
