that of course works if :area_id is an indexed field.
If area_id is not indexed, the :conditions option can be used to limit
the find call that retrieves the model instances via ActiveRecord. Note
that you might get less results than expected when using :conditions,
since AR filters records out that Ferret counted as a hit.
correct usage:
@results = SupplierProduct.find_by_contents(params[:search], {}, { :conditions
=> [] })
the first hash is for ferret-related options (like :limit, :offset and
so on), the second for activeRecord options.
