Hi!
If I have two models, Product and Manufacturer, of course Product
belongs_to :manufacturer.
A search engine would allow a user to look for a product by its name or
manufacturer. Is it better to define a method like:
def searchable_field
"#{name} #{manufacturer.name}"
end
and add it as indexable field (acts_as_ferret :fields =>
['searchable_field'])...
Or maybe that it is more advisable to index different fields:
Product < ActiveRecord::Base
acts_as_ferret :fields => ['name', 'manufacturer_name']
def manufacturer_name
"#{manufacturer.name}"
end
end
Thanks in advance.
