Since you can go to www.embought.com and search for products I would have to say your wrong. If I had only written a crawler I would have a nice collection of webpages on my hard drive and nothing more. Why are you so down on Ferret? what problems have you had with it? Just making an off the cuff statement without facts to back it up doesn't make you look very credible.
- petercooper 18y agoJust on the Ferret side of things, it does have a pretty bad reputation in some circles. Google for "ferret "corrupted index"" .. there are 59 results alone just for that limited query. I don't use Ferret myself (I tried it once; it seemed pretty good) but I'm very well read in the Ruby community (I run Ruby Inside and RubyFlow) and I've seen more than enough people saying bad things about Ferret, how it corrupted their indexes, concurrency issues, and what not, to personally avoid it. Solr and Sphinx seem to get a far better rap. .. I should add that I had a play with your site after reading your article, and it's pretty good. There's a lot of trash out there in this field and you've pulled together a good site. Kudos.
- Readmore 18y agoThanks! I really like ruby inside as well, you have a lot of great info there.
