make that
find_by_contents("#{searchstring} +state:#{selectedstate}")
and it should work. if you store the state acronym in the state field,
it might be a good idea to give :index => :untokenized as an option for
this field in your call to acts_as_ferret:
acts_as_ferret :fields => {
:content => {},
:state => { :index => :untokenized },
... any other fields you want to have indexed
}
this works great for i.e. having a select box to let the user select a
state he wants to search in. Generally, not tokenizing a field is a good
thing whenever you expect exact matches on a field, or want to sort your
results using this field. You can have a look at the Ferret API docs
(class FieldInfo) for more options and their explanations.
cheers,
