Little update.  So I have it almost working, but am still not
understanding what is going on exactly.
 indexes and habtm....
  has_and_belongs_to_many :makes
    define_index do
        indexes dealership_name, :sortable => true
        indexes dealership_zip
        indexes makes.name, :as => :makes
        set_property :enable_star => true
        set_property :min_infix_len => 3

     end

search:
@dealers = DealerAccount.search "*#{value}*",  :order
=> :dealership_name, :sort_mode => :desc

This results in dealership names and makes (honda,porsche,etc) being
searchable just how I want it.  It also allows me to search by zip
codes...sorta.  So if you put int 970 you get all the dealerships in
zipcodes: 970[0-9][0-9], one of which is in 97006.  so if i do 970 i
get that dealership and bunch more, but if I do 9700 it doesn't have
any results.

By getting rid of the makes index all together I am able to search by
9700 and it works fine.  There must be something I'm missing....

Thanks for your help.
Erik
