P.S. The above didn't quite work, needed to set index directory in two
places for it to function when adding to the index and searching:
In controller:
before_filter { Document.set_index_dir }
In the model:
# Set the Ferret index to that of the current users account.
def self.set_index_dir
# Two places are used internally by acts_as_ferret.
Document.ferret_configuration[:path] = Document.index_dir
Document.configuration[:index_dir] = Document.index_dir
end
