I have this line on box model
acts_as_ferret :fields => [ :model ]
of course, box table has a field named model.
this is the search action or the catalog controller
def search
@page_title = "Busqueda"
if params[:commit] == "Search" || params[:q]
@boxes = Box.find_with_ferret(params[:q].to_s.upcase)
unless @boxes.size > 0
flash.now[:notice] = "No boxess found matching your criteria"
end
and thats are the search views ,this is _search_box.html.erb
<%= form_tag({:action => "search"}, {:method => "get"} do ) %>
<%= text_field_tag :q %>
<%= submit_tag "Buscar" %>
<% end %>
and this is search.html.erb
<% render :partial => "search_box" %>
<% if @boxes %>
<p>Your search "<%= params[:q] %>" produced
<%= pluralize @boxes.size, "result" %>:</p>
<%= render(:partial => "boxes") %>
<% end %>
Seems correct but the search always returns 0 results.
