Ferret talk - Jun 2006 - stack level too deep

Iam new to ferret Iam trying to do a sample application on ferret
this is my code:

class SearchController < ApplicationController
require ''ferret''
include Ferret

  index = Index::Index.new(:path => ''/path/to/index'')
  def list

  end
  def index

    index << {:title => "Programming Ruby", :content =>
"blah blah
blah"}
    index << {:title => "Programming Ruby", :content =>
"yada yada
yada"}
     count=index.search_each(''content:"blah"'') do
|doc, score|
        puts "Document #{doc} found with a score of #{score}"
     end
     puts count

  end


end

This is wht i ended up with:

http://localhost:3000/search/index

SystemStackError in SearchController#index

RAILS_ROOT: ./script/../config/..

I haven''t tried it out, but I believe that ruby is interpreting this  
as a recursive call to the index method.  At least, that''s what  
usually creates that sort of error.

I''m not altogether familiar with rails conventions, but in the  
general case I would either make ''index'' a class (@@index) or
instance (@index) variable, which would avoid this problem.  Is there  
some reason it''s declared as local?
