Rails - Oct 2009 - find_with_ferret issue

Hi All,

I''m implementing the ferret search engine on my railspace project.

In my User and Info model, I have  line that reads:

acts_as_ferret :fields => [''username'',
''email'']

This initially generates a find_by_contents which is added to the
community contoller:

@users = User. find_by_contents(query, :limit => :all)

THis returned a method error, and after some digging, it turns out
that the find_by_contents is not replaced with:

@users = User.find_with_ferret(query, :limit => :all)

HOWEVER..... With this in place, the book says the search should work.
But for some reason, I click search, and nothing is returned...

Has anyone else had this issue? and why is nothing been returned in
the browser?
