acts_as_ferret cross model index not updating

#1

Just add an after_save callback any associated models to cause a reindex. Eg:.

class Post < AR::Base
acts_as_ferret :fields => :category_name

def category_name

category.name if category
end
end

class Category < AR::Base
after_save do |category|
if category.post
category.post.ferret_update
end
end
end

Reading your post i got an idea to write a rake task to use
Model.rebuild_index
acts_as_ferret..
this way i can rebuild the index for all my nonstandard fields to get
reindexed... whenever i want..
thanks..
