Unfortunately I'm a newbie to ruby, rails, and acts_as_ferret.  Also, 
I'm working in code I mostly didn't write, so I'm kind of unsure of 
things.  So this may be a dumb question.  It also may be the same issue 
as the topic 'Duplicate search results', but I'm not sure.

When I update column values with ApplicationController's 
update_attribute, I am getting additional ferret index entries rather 
than replacing the old one.  As a result, searches get hits when you 
search on a historical value that is no longer the value of the field.

I assume that I am somehow misusing acts_as_ferret?


My call to add the mixin to the model class looks like this:

  acts_as_ferret :store_class_name => true, :fields => ['id', 'code', 
'description']


As a test (and a workaround), in acts_as_ferret.rb module 
InstanceMethods, I replaced:

alias :ferret_update :ferret_create

with:

def ferret_update
    self.ferret_destroy
    self.ferret_create
end


This ensures unique indexes for me.  But I'm guessing it's redundant and 
something else is not used or working as intended.

Thanks for reading,

Neil
