TermEnum (http://ferret.davebalmain.com/api/classes/Ferret/Index/TermEnum.html) might help here. You can't do this through acts_as_ferret, instead I'd suggest you create a little script outside your application which rebuilds the word-list index from the real index by using Ferret directly to access the index. cheers, Jens -- Jens Krämer http://www.jkraemer.net/ - Blog http://www.omdb.org/ - The new free film database _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
