Could you be more specific about what is not working?
-- Are your association methods between Role and User being set up
correctly? (If not, make sure your statement is
"has_and_belongs_to_many", and not "hasandbelongstomany".)
-- Are you storing the data for role_name in the index? If so, can
you see it there?
I''m not familiar with the find_with_ferret method (because I use
index.search_each). However, in my code I do have a case where I do
something like your role_name method, and the output gets indexed.
