Unfortunately Ferret doesn't come with UTF-8 support in Windows as the win32 runtime environment doesn't seem to support UTF-8. You will therefore need to write your own analyzer on Windows if you want to support UTF-8 searches. Hopefully the NoMemoryError will be fixed in the next win32 gem I release. -- Dave Balmain http://www.davebalmain.com/ _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
