Ok this doesn’t prove much, but if you use ActsAsFerret you can play with Ferret in the console to your heart’s content.

rl@bloodandguts:~$ ./script/console 
Loading development environment (Rails 2.2.2)
>> module Ferret::Analysis  
>>   class StemmingAnalyzer  
>>     def token_stream(field, text)  
>>      StemFilter.new(StandardTokenizer.new(text))  
>>     end  
>>   end  
>> end
=> nil
>> index = Ferret::I.new(:analyser => Ferret::Analysis::StemmingAnalyzer.new)
