Hi Venesa,
You can search a specific field by prepending the query with the field
name. For example %{title:"Lord of the Rings" purpose:"enjoyment"}.
Or, if you don't want the users typing in field names, you could
modify the query_string to search only the title field like this;
query_string = "title:(#{query_string})"
Hope that helps,
Dave
PS : (Jens, please correct me if this won't work with acts_as_ferret)
