We're using Ferret (but not acts_as_ferret) on a project I'm working on, and I ran into a problem with the document scores returned from searches.
I consider myself a Ferret noob... I know a little about its API, having read the O'Reilly shortcut, but I couldn't find a solution to this problem there. Please allow me to explain: It started when I noticed that all of the relevance scores for each result were exactly the same. By reading the shortcut, I found out that happened because a range query (with initial and final dates) was always included in the queries passed to Ferret, and Ferret's RangeQuery always return results with identical scores, because it uses a ConstantScoreQuery internally. So far, so good - I removed this range query from the application code, as an experiment, and passed a simple string that translates into a TermQuery to it. From what I know of Ferret, it should return normal scores, but all of them came back as 0. Is this a known behavior/bug? Or did I do something wrong with the search or the indexing? I know the latter is more likely, and if needed I can try to provide some trimmed-down example code. -- Bira http://compexplicita.wordpress.com http://compexplicita.tumblr.com _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
