My model’s full_text_search method looks like:
def self.full_text_search(q, options = {})
return nil if q.nil? or q.empty?
default_options = {:limit => 10, :page => 1}
default_options.update options
# get the offset based on the page and limit
default_options[:page] = 1 if default_options[:page] == 0
default_options[:offset] = default_options[:limit] *
(default_options.delete(:page).to_i-1)
# now do the query with options
results = Article.find_by_contents(q, default_options)
return [results.total_hits, results]
end
My search controller uses it like this:
build sort
@sf_published_at = Ferret::Search::SortField.new(:published_at_string,
:type => :string, :reverse => true)
@sort = Ferret::Search::Sort.new(@sf_published_at)
set options
@options = {:limit => 20, :sort => @sort}
@total, @articles = Article.full_text_search(@query_string, @options)
And yes, you’re absolutely right about sending in :limit => :all. I
forgot to mention that in my earlier post.
I’m currently getting around this issue by returning all the results and
sorting in ruby.
Thanks for looking into this.

I did some further testing using the DRb setup. This time, I kept the
sort but removed the :limit and :offset options. The results were not
properly sorted and only 10 items were returned, even though there are
48 matching results and no limit imposed on the query. Then I removed
the DRb from the setup and the 48 results came back properly sorted in a
single query.
Looks like you just found a bug in the DRb code - I’ll try to fix this
asap. Could you please post your call to find_by_contents, including the
construction of your SortFields?
The acts_as_ferret statement in your model might help, too.
About the number of results returned - are you sure you got all 48
results back from a call to find_by_contents without :limit parameter?
By default only 10 hits will be returned and you’ll need to pass
:limit => :all for aaf to give you all results. However
results.total_hits will give you the total number of results. Maybe only
that value is different with or without DRb?
