Hi Dan. Thanks for your response.
I did see the facet support. However, it is only working for me when the
facet is on the model being indexed, not on one of its associations. If I
try adding :facet => true to one of the attributes that are associations, it
indexes without issues, but when calling Model.facets('something') I get an
exception along the lines of:
NoMethodError: undefined method `facet_name' for #<Class:0x7f6a4d321a68>
Regarding the question below about person.dob and why it would not index all
of my records, turns out that I tried indexes person.dob (instead of has
person.dob) and it did index the full set.
Thanks again for the help,
-Harold
