Ferret
With the introduction of Ferret, Ruby users now have one of
the fastest and most flexible search libraries available.
And it's surprisingly easy to use.
This book will show you how to quickly get up and running
with Ferret. You'll learn how to index different document
types such as PDF, Microsoft Word, and HTML, as well as
how
to deal with foreign languages and different character
encodings. Ferret describes the Ferret Query Language in
detail along with the object-oriented approach to building
queries.
You will also be introduced to sorting, filtering, and
highlighting your search results, with an explanation of
exactly how you need to set up your index to perform these
tasks. You will also learn how to optimize a Ferret index
for lightning fast indexing and split-second query results.
