acts as ferret

So i have acts as ferret working nicely except for one problem. I can't for the life of me filter results on a parent model! For example we have a tree that goes Account->User->Article

Article.find_by_contents("hello") works great but I try something like Article.find_by_contents("hello", {}, {:include=>:users, :conditions=>["users.account_id = ?"])

gives a bunch of errors, its clearly not including the users

Hi,

I know that it's not your question, but alot of people seem to have problems with Ferret in production. Might I suggest to switch to Shpinx using ThinkingSphinx plugin before it's too late? :slight_smile:

As for your question, I don't know enough about Ferret to help you, I'm sorry.

Bloody brilliant David! The ThinkingSphinx quickstart had the EXACT example i needed. After re-reading sphinx install instructions (forgot the --with-pgsq option), setup was a breeze and it works perfectly!
