Hi Chris
Unfortunately the excerpts object only ties into the underlying model,
and doesn't add shortcuts to the defined fields.
A work around could be to add a file_names method in your model:
def file_names
files.collect { |file| file.name }.join(" ")
end
And then result.excerpts.file_name will work.
