I’ve read the Rails Envy AAF tutorial at
http://railsenvy.com/2007/2/19/acts-as-ferret-tutorial and its given me
some really good ideas.
My problem lies in having AAF search the target Model’s child tables.
I have no problem at all doing something like:
acts_as_ferret :fields => [:title, :update_collection, :member_name]
def member_name
return "#{self.member.username}"
end
However when I try to query child tables like such…
def update_collection
self.place_updates.collect { |update| update.description }.join
’ ’
end
I have no luck.
I know the method is working because if I do something like
raise Model.find(5).update_collection.inspect it returns a string with
all descriptions.
Any ideas? I would really appreciate any help!

most probably the collection isn’t there yet when aaf indexes your
record. Have a look at your log file to see what value aaf gets from
your method when it calls it.

Hmmm, I’m pretty new to this whole thing. I tried looking in my
development.log file (140 gigs and counting!) and its showing nothing.
I deleted my indexes and restarted the server and it picked up the
keywords I was searching for… however this is my problem.
Once I edit one of the records and remove a keyword, or add a keyword,
its not reflected in the index I guess?
Is this normal? Is it possible to have it act as a live search?

Meant to say, 140 megs and counting…

Aaf logs something like
“Adding field fieldname with value ‘fieldvalue’ to index”
whenever it indexes a record.

If everything works correctly, it should. How does your test code for
adding a keyword and saving the record look like?

What do you mean by ‘live search’? Search-as-you-type is no problem, but
this hasn’t to do much with indexing…
