I want to search all  fields that I have indexed: firstname, lastname,
email, phone, city, state, etc...

when I perform the search, perhaps it returns 10 results. Right now,
all 10 records have firstname, lastname, email, phone, city, state,
etc....

I only want the firstname and lastname returned. With ActiveRecord, I
can do Model.all(:select => "firstname, lastname") and all I get are
the firstname and lastname.

I'm returning the results via xml and don't need to return everything.

Does that clarify it a bit? Sorry, i'm not sure how to ask this.
