The answer here is to escape the spaces and to use a Ferret custom analyzer for this field in the index, one that will split only on non-escaped spaces. Something like this (needs testing): irb(main):055:0> a = Ferret::Analysis::RegExpAnalyzer.new /([^\s\\]|(\\\s))+/, false => #<Ferret::Analysis::RegExpAnalyzer:0xb79740fc> irb(main):056:0> t = a.token_stream :potato, "one\\ two three\\ four"=> #<Ferret::Analysis::TokenStream:0xb79705d8> irb(main):057:0> t.next => token["one\ two":0:8:1] irb(main):058:0> t.next => token["three\ four":9:20:1] Then assign that analyzer to the :attachments field in index.rb circa line 37, just like I do for :subject and :body. You'll have to make sure to do the escaping properly both on user input at query time, and at storage time to the index. > Also I dont repopulate the attachments attribute on the message object > and I couldnt figure out quite how you do it for labels (through the > initialise?). Not quite sure what you mean here, but the answer might be: index.rb line 371 is where we build a Message object from an index entry, and you'll need to pass in an :attachments attribute (and handle it within Message#initialize). -- William <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ sup-talk mailing list sup-talk@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/sup-talk
