Rails - Jul 2006 - search plugin?

All,

I know there are 3 or 4 search plugins out there.

I''m trying to find one that will allow me to search associated fields.

My database content is pretty small, so efficiently is not so
critical.  On the other hand I have ton of :belongs_to type fields, so
I need something that works well with the Rails models.

Any recommendations?

== Example of what I need to work

Assume I have a :belongs_to field1 in my model.

I want to search all my records for hits in the field1.name associated field.

Thanks
Greg
