[Ferret-talk] Two Shared Indices(sp?) in aaf.rb file (for Acts_as_ferret)

[Philip Ingram]

Hi Jens,

No, but i didn't know that either, so thank you.

What i'm trying is to do the following, All of this code below is in  
aaf.rb (hopefully the formatting shows up in this email).
ActsAsFerret::define_index('site_index',
  :models => {
    Product  => {:fields => [:name, :company]},
    Post    => {:fields => [:title, :body]},
    Prategory => {:fields => [:name]}
  },
  :ferret   => {
    :default_fields => [:name, :company, :title, :body, :name]
  }
),
ActsAsFerret::define_index('forumindex',
   :models => {
     Topics => {:fields => [:title]},
     Messages => {:fields => [:title, :content]}
   },
   :ferret => {
     :default_fields => [:title, :title, :content]
   }
)

Now, i get errors when i try to do this, but essentially i want to  
somehow use 'site_Index' to search those models across all of my site,  
and only 'forumindex' when i put the search fields on the forum.

IN my Search_controller.rb file i have:
def search
     per_page = 15
     @results = ActsAsFerret.find(params[:q], 'site_index', {:page =>  
params[:page], :per_page => per_page}, :conditions => ["account_id  
= ?", current_account.id] )
   end

   def forum
     per_page = 30
     @results = ActsAsFerret.find(params[:q], 'forumindex', {:page =>  
params[:page], :per_page => per_page})
   end

Notice that i have a condition statement for current_account's on  
site_index. Am i doing this wrong?  Is there a better way to add  
conditions that i'm unaware of?

I do love the benefits of a shared index, but i'm wondering if more  
then on index can be written at a time?

thoughts?
