[Ferret-talk] Trunk and single table inheritance

My colleague Josh was having a hard time getting this email though  
either the web or email interfaces, so I'm forwarding it along.

Hi all,

I'm getting discrepancies between stable and trunk when doing a  
search involving single-table inheritance and I can't locate the  
problem.

I'm running Rails 2.0.2 with the following (simplified) schema:

class Model < ActiveRecord::Base
   acts_as_ferret
end

class ModelSubClass < Model
end

Under AAF/tags/stable, Model.find_by_contents('*') returns all Models  
and all ModelSubClasses. Under AAF/trunk, the same query only returns  
Models. Has AAF changed its STI model?

The API also indicates that find_by_contents no longer takes  
the :models param, and including it does not change the output in  
either case -- is there a new way to search across multiple classes?  
If I could manually force the query to look at Model and all  
subclasses, I could live with the workaround.

Thanks,
Josh
