Hi all,

my model Project features an attribute "source" which contains only a
small number of possible string entries. I won't do text-searching
based on that property, so I figured an attribute would be well in
order.

has :source, :facet=> true

Based in the docs, I tried to search like this:

Project.search 'some text', :with=> { :src => "someSource" }

to find all projects containing "some text" that would have a source
attribute of "someSource". The search returned nothing. I checked the
sphinx result by using the command-line search client and found that
my attribute "src" contained some integer value instead of a string.

Then I changed the code in define_index, and added my src field using
"indexes". Now it worked.

When and for what would I use an attribute, and when would I need a
field? Any help is greatly appreciated. Regards,

Christian
