Hi everybody...
I'm getting crazy to understand how to make things working.. I have to use both Solr and rails Find to filter search result, and I realized that the only option is to get the ids from the different search results..and then intersect the array of the ids.
Once did this..I can't make find_all_by_id work passing the resulting array as parameter, I have this:
---- using @articles = Article.find_all_by_id(@ids) It seems to work, I get results, but they're wrong! :S
That should work. Does the generated sql look right ?

Fred
nope, it doesn't I get other authors and Dates out of the range the funny thing is that if I pass the array number manually it works! how can I print the @ids variable in the view? just to have a log..
(btw I've just realized that I can avoid the two Article.find arrays by extending conditions in only one of them :P)

You could use debug. What's wrong with the generated sql? Also, you say you are intersecting the relevant finds but you seem to be just concatenating them. Lastly, given that you already have all the Article objects, why go back to the database (ie why not @aut & @range & @search) ?

because I have to do the @search part using acts_as_solr (for studying purpose)
(I've bound @aut and @range in the se same query now)

I realise this, but given that (as far as I can tell) you've loaded all of your article objects you might as well to the intersection of the various results there and then rather than intersecting their ids and loading them again from the database.
Fred
Um, maybe they are wrong because you haven't computed the intersection of the arrays above - you've found the union.
Note that it should work to do this:
proxy = Article.scoped(:conditions => { :author => params[:author] })
from = params[:from][:date] # may need .to_date here to = params[:to][:date] # I'm assuming there was a typo in the original proxy = proxy.scoped(:conditions => { :date => from..to }) @articles = proxy.find_by_solr(params[:query])
The .results on the original find_by_solr is confusing; are you using an old version?
Acts_as_solr doesn't 100% support scoping like this, but digging around in the underlying code shows that the actual results are loaded with a find(:all, :conditions => { :id => results }), which will apply the other constraints.

Hey Matt, I hope I understood what you wrote..if so that might be amazing! I'll try it tomorrow, i didn't know about old version of .results, so what should I use instead? nothing? just find_by_solr (params[:query]) I'll let u know! Thanks!
@Fred, yes, you're right 
here I am again
So Matt, your trick didn't really worked. I'm using this version of acts_as_solr. http://github.com/mattmatt/acts_as_solr
I did not understand the part u say about .results, if I don't use it it returns an error (like I'm passing to @articles something that is not an articles array), if I use .results it returns 0 articles..that's not right too...
What about find(:all, :conditions => {:id => results}) you wrote? I did not understand how and where use it. thanks again
Making some tests I've realized that's it a range date matter... I'll figured out and let u know
I've made a bunch of tests...
using: proxy = Article.scoped(:all, :order => :date, :conditions => {:author => aut, :date => 2001..2006}) @articles = proxy.find_by_solr(params[:query])
I get a Type error: Symbol as array index
actually using proxy = Article.scoped_by_author and then proxy.find_by_solr
it seems to work..I just have an out of sync error..but that's another story..I'll have a look
thanks!
