Ferret talk - Jul 2006 - acts_as_ferret 0.2.2

Hi all,

I just tagged acts_as_ferret 0.2.2 as the current stable version, so get
it while it''s hot ;-)

new features: 
- added support for the multiple models/single index approach. 
- find out the total number of search results by calling total_hits on 
  the array returned by find_by_contents.
  
fixes:
- trac tickets #20 (find_by_contents breaks ferret sorting) and #24
  (rebuild_index wastes a huge ammount of memory).

as always, thanks for reporting issues and uploading patches :-)

More info can be found on my blog:

Great stuff Jens. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Jens.  acts_as_ferret has come a long way in a very short time.
 I am going to convert my own ferret implementation over to
acts_as_ferret soon since it now seems to do everything I need, and
probably better than my own implementation :)

Thanks for your efforts.

Tom
