I would also be interested in Ferret alternatives for IR in ruby, a simple search on rubyforge returned mainly a bunch of projects that look to be abandoned...
- Rise (does not appear to be actively developed) - rubylucene (looks to be a dead project) - Ruby Simple Indexer (also looks dead) - Ruby Odeum (simple ruby-bindings for a fast inverted index) If anyone knows of any ruby IR projects which are mature, and are being actively developed I would love to hear about them.
