Highlighting with find_with_ferret

Ruby Apps Ferret
1

Hello!

I’m trying to highlight my search results, but it doesn’t work.-

In the model i have this:

acts_as_ferret( :fields => {
:name => {:store => :yes , :boots => 100},
:description => {:store => :yes , :boots => 50}
})

…and i’m using find_with_ferret, so, in the controller i have this:

@repos = Repo.find_with_ferret(cad)

I don’t know what to do in the view, because everything i try never
works.

I hope you can help me.
Thanks and I apologize by my bad english!!!

well, this is the solution that worked for me.
in the controller:

def busqueda
    @cad = prepare_query(params[:query])

@repos = Repo.find_with_ferret(@cad)
end

in the view:
<% for repo in @repos %>
<%= repo.highlight(@cad, :field=> :name , :pre_tag => “” ,
:post_tag=>"" %>
<% end %>

in the model:

acts_as_ferret( :fields => {:name => {:store => :yes , :boost => 2}})

my english is really bad, so i’m sorry

bye!
