I am building a search form that retrieves data from four related models. The user can supply criteria against a number of fields from those models. What is the best method for doing a variable cross model search?
To put that into context; If you have an Author model that hasMany Posts that hasMany Comments, what is the find syntax to retrieve a list of all Authors filtered by a set of conditions on Authors and/or a set of conditions on Posts and/or a set of conditions on Comments? My experiments so far give various results. If I supply criteria for Posts but none for Authors, I get all Authors but the Posts are filtered.
