Say the user first enters "ruby" for search and gets 1000 results. Then he can search "rails" just in the 1000 results just returned. The common scenario is some kind of advanced search.

is it possible to write a custom sort routine for ferret? I use ferret right now to index all my products. One of the variables in these product documents is the product popularity, where 1 = best selling production, 2 = 2nd best, etc..
