Hi,
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking about, but if you want to find
out if the result was already in the db or was it just created, you
could use find_or_initialize_by instead:
post = Post.find_or_initialize_by_title("something completely
different")
post.new_record? # false if it was found in the db, true otherwise
post.save if post.new_record? # this way you can save it only if it's
not already in the db
