Not right now, but it will be added (we really want this if fastri-server is
to run as a daemon).

hmm  I guess that you're getting a RiError for some reason; this might tell us
what's happening:


 diff -rN -u old-0.1/lib/fastri/ri_service.rb new-0.1/lib/fastri/ri_service.rb
 --- old-0.1/lib/fastri/ri_service.rb	2006-11-11 23:13:38.000000000 +0100

 @@ -220,6 +220,8 @@
        end
      end
    rescue RiError
 +    puts "RiError: #{$!.message}"
 +    puts $!.backtrace
      return nil
    end


Does  fri --show-matches Array#  return anything? (if it does, the problem
lies in the processing of the descriptions, not in the lookup).
Also, you might want to take a look at the index (~/.fastri-index by default)
to verify that it's not empty (it's a Marshal serialization but it's easy to
spot), or run
  fastri-server -b
to rebuild the index and see if it found any methods/classes/modules:
 $ fastri-server -b
 Indexing RI docs for ParseTree version 1.5.0.
 [...]
 Indexing RI docs for tidy version 1.1.2.

I'll implement this. Note that you'll also have to open the port used by the
Rinda Ring (7647).
