Ferret talk - Mar 2007 - aaf excluding certain db records from indexing

hi!

short question about aaf:

is there a builtin functionality in acts_as_ferret to exclude records
from being indexed when for example a column "is_deleted" /
"is_disabled" / "dont_index" has a certain value?

regards

neongrau

just override the ferret_enabled? instance method.

hallo jens!

so i just put s.th. like this into my model?

def ferret_enabled?
  self.is_deleted ? false : true
end

and aaf will skip the record when indexing?

that''s right. 

However this does not apply to index rebuilds, please see my other
recent mail to the list for a solution to this problem.
