Ferret talk - Jan 2008 - Records not in search results until I recreate record index

our object A has three properties

title - a straight db field,
open_for_search - a method which returns yes or no
site_search - which is a list of codes based on a has_many relationship

so our api accepts a title and a list of sites

creates object A with
object = Object.new
object.title = thetitle
sites = Site.find_all_by_whatever([whatever])

object.save
object.sites << sites


Then because sites were added after the object was created we do
object.ferret_create



If we do Object.find_by_contents(''title:thetitle AND
site_search:sitecode'') we get nothing

If we do Object.find_by_contents(''title:thetitle'') we get the
record and
if we do
Object.find_by_contents(''title:thetitle'').first.to_doc the
site_search
field is populated correctly in ferret


We have to now manually do ferret_create again from script/console
before the query returns the results...

Any ideas?
