I have been trying to use multi_search to search accross multiple associated models, but I have had no luck at all. I have scoured the net and this forum for all similar posts, but none of them contain enough code for me to get it to work. I am successfully able to search individual models, and then display the results without a problem. I have the following 2 models, Product and Component.

Hello, Lets say you have a few models like Post, Article, Wiki, Comment, And you want to use ferret to search all of them at once. How would I set up the latest acts_as_ferret to accomplish this? And what would be fastest for searches? 1 index for all models, or have an index per model? Thank you -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Hey guys, I know I can run search(q).total_hits, but if I try to put :limit=>0 it gives me an error. I don''t want it actually query any of the results, I just want it to tell me how many total_hits I would have if I wanted to search it. How can I do this? -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.

Is it possible to sort the result of acts_as_ferret multi_search the way you can with find_contents? I''m using the latest ferret and aaf. I have an interface that offers multiple search options which search different fields of a single model. In addition to these, I also have an "all" search type which is meant to pull in one additional model and consider all indexed

Hello folks, I have four models, each with their own separate index. Models = Articles, Blogs, MusicTracks, and MediaFiles I have individual searches within each section of the site working just fine, but I want to have a gloabl search that searches across all of them at the same time and returns the results ordered by score. Here''s how far I am now... def search query =

The first time I tried to run a multi_search, I got an error and discovered there were no indexes for any of the models. index > model folders were there but no actual indexes. I couldn''t figure out how to get it to create indexes so I edited a record for each model which created all the indexes. Then when I ran the search, everything worked well. Is there a bug related to this

Hey guys, im trying to get my friends to come up at the top of the act as ferret search.

Hello everyone, I''m using multi-search to search in some attributes of two classes. One of the attributes is the id of the customer. For each multi_search I want to do a give the id of the current customer as a parameter. This should only return results for the given customer. My current code looks like this: Folder.multi_search(@search_query, [Myfile]) I noticed in the API you can

Hi folks. If I am indexing ModelA and ModelB and I want to search both of them, I usually just pick one arbitrarily and use it for #multi_search. Is there a slicker pattern, regarding from which model to invoke #multi_search? Can it be invoked directly from the Ferret library? Has anyone put together some sort of "dummy" search class? Thanks for any ideas. John

Hi I think this is a very easy question but here goes: I want to sort my results by a boolean field and then by score, I thought this would be a default configuration but apparently not. sort_fields = [] sort_fields << Ferret::Search::SortField.new(:sponsored, :reverse => :true) that is my current code, how do iu alter it so that the results are then sorted by highest score first?
