Good point, I'll think about how this could be done.
Ideally one would only need to specify the relationship itself as a
field, and let aaf rely on the related objects to implement some method
returning the textual content for indexing:
class Article
has_many :comments
acts_as_ferret :fields => [ :title , :body, :comments ]
end
class Comment
belongs_to :article
def to_ferret
"#{title} #{body}"
end
end
Finding out the Comment class from looking at the relationship should be
possible as AR does exactly the same.
What do you think?
