Hi Pat,

Thanks for your response!
The search doesn't work at all; here's an example:

results = ThinkingSphinx::Search.search 'donkey', :conditions =>
{:language_id => 1}, :classes => [WebResource, Book]

output:

matches = [[], {:attribute_names=>[], :error=>"index
book_core,district_core,group_core,klass_core,message_core,posting_core,school_core,web_resource_core:
query error: no field 'language_id' found in
schema", :status=>1, :fields=>[], :matches=>[], :attributes=>
{}, :words=>{}}]

On WebResource and Book I have the following:

  define_index do
    # fields
    indexes name, :sortable => true

    # attribute
    has metadata.language_id
  end

where metadata is an object associated with the Material. None of the
other classes that I've indexed have a language_id attribute. The rake
task for indexing works fine; it's only searching for a selection of
classes that fails.

Cheers,
Graham
