Ferret talk - Dec 2005 - undefined method `add'' for Ferret::Search::BooleanQuery

Up to now in my ferret development I have been using simple
single-word strings as my search queries.  I just now am trying to
increase the complexity of my queries.  When I was passing a single
word with no spaces in my index searches, like so:

count = index.search_each(''testing'') do |d, s|
    ...
end

everything worked fine.  But now when I do something like this:

count =
index.search_each(''contents:"testing|trucks"'') do
|d, s|
   ...
end

I get the following error:

undefined method `add'' for
#<Ferret::Search::BooleanQuery:0x3787b10>

Trace is:

Is this a known bug?

Thanks,

Hi Carl,

There are currently no known bugs in Ferret. If I know about it I''ll
fix it as soon as possible. This was an unknown bug which has now been
swatted. You can get the latest from svn. I might put out another
release soon. Find me a couple more bugs and I definitely will.

patched my code.
