Hi folks!

I have got a Webshop applacation with a structure of 1700 products in 400 
product categories through categorizations, 
and 1600 product properties in 1100 property groups and their 105 000 
values.

For filtering I wanted to have a facetted search on category level on the 
values, like in the screenshot

<https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-O2AkKA8OjcU/U2s5li2AyYI/AAAAAAAAAT8/TaWbbtJj4RQ/s1600/facets.png>
So I came up with the idea of integrating Elastic search into hobo. 
The result can be seen in the screenshot as well. I documented it in the 
Gist <https://gist.github.com/haslinger/fe3b8f15432e08daf565> .

The one thing I don't like is that Searchkick's search method/scope shadows 
Hobo's one, so I can't use live-search in an admin subsite in a different 
controller anymore.

I tried to rescue it using alias method 

> alias_method :hobo_search, :search

which does not work out. As far as I understand Hobo's search is created 
using something like method missing.

I found, I could rescue it for me by changing

>    when name == "search"

to

>    when name == "search" || name == "hobo_search"

in  the hob gem in /hobo/lib/hobo/model/scopes/automatic_scopes.rb line 321

I would be happy if anybody could come up with a better solution for this, 
because I don't want to monky patch hobo for elastic search.

As far as I understand this overwriting is also the case for Sunspot 
because Kevin uses a search method in his controller in 
http://www.hobocentral.net/tutorials/57-how-to-get-full-text-search as well.
