it's basically about speed.. the bigger your index gets, the better it might be to have separate indexes. it also depends on your queries, if you do single-model-searches or cross-model-searches most of the time.. If your database isn't that huge and/or you do a lot of searches over all models (multi searches), you might want to use the single_index.. it might speed up searching but might also slow down indexing.. so the real answer is: it depends :-) Ben _______________________________________________ Ferret-talk mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/ferret-talk
