Filtering out low scoring matches with acts_as_ferret (fwd)

Ruby Apps Ferret

Hi all,

I’m using fuzzy~ queries which can return very poor matches. What is
the
most elegant way to filter out scores below some threshold? I know that
I
can do my own thing with find_id_by_contents but I’d like to filter out
less relevant results at a lower level so that I can use :limit/:offset
for pagination and all that.

What am I missing?

Thanks,
Casey

You can specify a fuzziness factor after the ~. A higher factor will
reduce fuzziness and thus return less but more accurate results.

Example:

fuzzy~0.8

Cheers,
