I've been searching the internet without success, looking for info on acts_as_ferret. The few pages I've found show methods that apparently doesn't exist any more (my rails app show me the "method not found error", and the docs in the acts_as_ferret page are very scarce. Anyone have a good tutorial or API docs about this plugin?
And don't forget you also have the source code. Gemedit is nice for quick viewing of gem source code: http://gemedit.rubyforge.org/
The rdoc is placed in your /ruby/gems/1.8/doc/acts_as_ferret-0.5.2/rdoc/index.html directory by default when you install a gem. This should be correct & current with respect to the version you're using. That's usually the best bet if things aren't current online. It looks like there's some documentation here as well: http://rdoc.info/github/jkraemer/acts_as_ferret, not sure if it's appropriate to the version you're using.
If you have a chance, take a look at http://rubygems.org/gems/thinking-sphinx. It's quite popular and has a good amount of current online documentation.

I am looking for a ruby on rails wiki application. which i can download and modifiy according to my needs. i tried instiki but is there anything apart from that ? Which has basic formtting and version histories features implemented ?
Thank you
Don't overlook Wagn http://wagn.org/ Quoting Ward Cunningham "The freshest thing in Wiki since I coined the term".
Pretty great as a Wiki and searchable database, and soon to be even more of an OO application platform in its own right.
Ruby Toolbox is the place to go for this. I recommend Gollum for your needs. It is a simple wiki system built on top of Git that powers GitHub Wikis.
Look at Irwi and Perwitiky. Both are inactive now, but Irwi seems to be more up to date and is Rails 3 ready.
I recommend looking at the RubyGems site
Wiki2Go could do the job for you.
FYI: Here are the search results

I'm looking for a good set of documentation for the gem Spreadsheet.
It has a basic Guide with a few methods, but doesn't cover alot of functionality that (I think) is available, and is terribly organized.
Referencing the link that #topek mentioned, here is a more specific link.
This seems to be a useful guide for using Spreadsheet.
I also added that text to the Cheat Gem. If you do a gem install cheat you can then do cheat spreadsheet any time to reference that information.
Enjoy!
UPDATE:
For things like text-wrapping, I found this StackOverflow question.
It doesn't look like anyone has explicitly put together a document detailing all of the options, which is quite surprising. If you find the time, modify the Spreadsheet #Cheat to help others!
UPDATE 2:
You may also find the API helpful

If I use http://api.rubyonrails.org/ to look up ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper#url_for (see: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionView/Helpers/UrlHelper.html#method-i-url_for) it tells me:
"This takes the same options as url_for in Action Controller (see the documentation for ActionController::Base#url_for)."
So I want to look up ActionController::Base#url_for, and I enter "ActionController" in the little search box on http://api.rubyonrails.org/ and that gives one result: "ActionController"... I click on that, and find "CLASS ActionController::Base"... I click on that... and there is no sign of url_for.
So then I Google "ActionController::Base#url_for" ( http://www.google.com/search?q=ActionController::Base%23url_for )... and skip the first result for http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Base.html since url_for is not mentioned there. However the second result http://rails.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Base.html does show url_for... here's the direct link: http://rails.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Base.html#M000455
Could someone please explain what is the difference between those to documentation sources?
And I guess another related question is: Where can I find docs for ActionController::Base#url_for at http://api.rubyonrails.org/ ?
Thank you for reading!
http://rails.rubyonrails.org looks like it hasn't been updated since Rails 2.3.8, which http://api.rubyonrails.org is based on the current 3.1.1 version.
I think the "see the documentation for ActionController::Base#url_for" item is just something that never got cleaned up, as the options are now listed directly in the ActionView::Helpers::UrlHelper#url_for documentation.

I am building a simple Rails website, where users can create posts and people can search for posts. I am hosting this application with heroku.
I was looking for options for the search functionality, and found IndexTank (starter) as the only free option with heroku.
Is it a good idea to use IndexTank for a requirement like mine? Should I go ahead with using just ActiveRecord finders to implement this search or I should use IndexTank?
Additionally, can anyone provide me with a very nice IndexTank tutorial to get started with? I found few tutorials, but could not really progress with those. Thanks.
Don't know if you have seen the official IndexTank gem for Rails:
https://github.com/kidpollo/tanker
The README file comes with some examples.
Also, here's a complete demo app:
https://github.com/adrnai/rails-3-tanker-demo
Please let me know if this helps, you can always email support # indextank dot com and we'll help you get started!

I am trying to find a simple poll plugin/gem (the type of single question poll that's usually found in site's sidebar). All plugins that I've found are either too complex (like having their own DSL) or they are out of date (i.e. older than couple years).
Does anyone knows a Rails plugin/gem that handles simple polls?
Have you tried SMeRF, I'm currently using Surveyor and yes it is complicated. So I recommend you to use SMeRF, it is a lot more simple. But I can't seem to make it work on Rails3. xP
What version of Rails are you using?
I ended up writing my own custom solution for a simple poll I needed. Unfortunately, I needed it fast so I wrote it within an app I was working on (i.e. I didn't separate it into gem)
