Hi Andrea
TS won't figure that out by itself, but you could tell it which classes you
want to search on, using the :classes option. To figure out what to pass in to
that option, you could automate it using a snippet something like this:
classes = ThinkingSphinx.context.indexed_models.collect { |model|
model.constantize
}.select { |model|
model.sphinx_indexes.first.attributes.any? { |attribute|
attribute.unique_name == params[:attribute]
}
}
Cheers
