right. You could also do it the other way around: just call acts_as_ferret in your Product class, and override to_doc in your child classes to add your dynamic properties to the ferret document. Don't forget to use :store_classname => true when you call acts_as_ferret. If you want to declare special Ferret options on a per field level, you'd have to declare them in the acts_as_ferret call in class Product for all kinds of products. That's not really nice but should work. Jens -- webit!
