Hi,

The reason why I'm using String is because I'm not bothered about return
values and I'm using it more as a bit more documentation - fulltext_search
accepts a string and returns an array of charity records.

Also, in this example, I don't even need with() nor and_return() as all I'm
really interested in is if fulltext_search is called.

If I'm interested in the return value, then I will use real values.
Otherwise I'll just use generic Fixnum/String etc.

Now I've explained that, am I using it wrong?  For me, it works but like I
say, If I'm doing something dangerously wrong, then I will change my way of
working.
