Thanks for your advice very helpful..
In the end I ended up getting the original search options cloning them
and then modifying them to use in my search
This is what I did if anyone was interested
Thanks again
Richard
@products = Product.sort_by(:price)
@products = @products.add_field_weights
[:category_id, :maker_id, :main_category_id].each do |param|
@products = @products.filter(param, params[param]) unless
params[param].blank?
end
@products = @products.price_greater_than(params[:gt]) unless
params[:gt].blank?
@products = @products.sort_by(params[:sort]) if !
params[:sort].blank? && params[:desc].blank?
@products = @products.sort_by_desc(params[:sort]) unless
params[:desc].blank?
@products = @products.price_less_than(params[:lt]) unless
params[:lt].blank?
@products = @products.paging(params[:page], params[:pp])
@products = @products.search "#{params[:q]}", :star =>
true, :match_mode =>:extended2, :include =>
[:categories, :maker, :main_category]
# Facets
search_options = @products.options.clone
facets = {}
[:maker,:categories,:main_category].each do |name|
result = Product.group_by(name.to_s.singularize).search
"#{params[:q]}",
search_options.merge(:include=>name, :page=>1, :per_page=>1000)
facets[name.to_s.pluralize.to_sym] =
Product.create_facet_for(result, name.to_s)
end
