ferret talk @ berlin ruby ug
A few weeks ago, I did a talk at the berlin ruby user group about ferret and the ferret implementation at omdb. We’re happy with the way ferret fits into omdb, and a lot of our experiences (especially the background indexing) is now part of Jens’ acts_as_ferret plugin for Rails. If you’re planning to work with ferret, grab a copy of Lucene in Action, over at Manning. It’s a great book and all the details about Analyzers and Tokenizers is very useful to understand the way Ferret works.
Here’re the sildes of the talk. If you’re going to Rails Konferenz or Rails Conf Europe, be sure to attend Jens talk about acts_as_ferret.
