Hi i could use a find(:all, :conditions => blah) but my browse page is
divited into types and categories and so i was using a wildcard search
with find_by_contents and then one or two filters depending on whether
the user selects a type or a type and category. I just thought that
ferret would be faster than a find all with conditions,(also im already
using it on my search page and the browse page has similar
functionality). Is this not so? The conditions would be an exact match
on the full contents of a db cell. Would ferret still be faster with
this?
So what i basically want to do is a simple search on one or two fields.
How is this done with acts as ferret? How do you specify what fields out
of the index to search on?
Thanks for an advice
regards
Clare
