find_with_ferret issue

Hi All,

I'm implementing the ferret search engine on my railspace project.

In my User and Info model, I have line that reads:

acts_as_ferret :fields => ['username', 'email']

This initially generates a find_by_contents which is added to the community contoller:

@users = User. find_by_contents(query, :limit => :all)

THis returned a method error, and after some digging, it turns out that the find_by_contents is not replaced with:

@users = User.find_with_ferret(query, :limit => :all)

HOWEVER..... With this in place, the book says the search should work. But for some reason, I click search, and nothing is returned...

Has anyone else had this issue? and why is nothing been returned in the browser?
