It seems that the problem is with the name query...

>> films = Film.search 'clint eastwood'
>> films.total_entries
=> 198

>> films = Film.search :conditions => {:actor_name => 'clint eastwood'}
>> films.total_entries
=> 157

>> films = Film.search :conditions => {:director_name => 'clint eastwood'}
>> films.total_entries
=> 102

>> query = "@(actor_name, director_name) #{name_query}"
=> "@(actor_name, director_name) clint eastwood"
>> films = Film.search query, :match_mode => :extended
=> []

Perhaps once that works then, Pat, your way would work!
