Ferret talk - Jun 2006 - Possibly same issue as ''duplicate search results'' topic?

Unfortunately I''m a newbie to ruby, rails, and acts_as_ferret.  Also, 
I''m working in code I mostly didn''t write, so I''m
kind of unsure of
things.  So this may be a dumb question.  It also may be the same issue 
as the topic ''Duplicate search results'', but I''m not
sure.

When I update column values with ApplicationController''s 
update_attribute, I am getting additional ferret index entries rather 
than replacing the old one.  As a result, searches get hits when you 
search on a historical value that is no longer the value of the field.

I assume that I am somehow misusing acts_as_ferret?


My call to add the mixin to the model class looks like this:

  acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true, :fields =>
[''id'', ''code'',
''description'']


As a test (and a workaround), in acts_as_ferret.rb module 
InstanceMethods, I replaced:

alias :ferret_update :ferret_create

with:

def ferret_update
    self.ferret_destroy
    self.ferret_create
end


This ensures unique indexes for me.  But I''m guessing it''s
redundant and
something else is not used or working as intended.

Thanks for reading,

Neil

you should not name the ''id'' field in the list of fields,
it''s always
added to the index automatically. Probably this will solve your problem.
