so you're one step further now :-) using 'def self.search' you declared a class method, but we wanted an instance method, which you declare by omitting the 'self.' . > This is even stranger.

No, you're just missing the name of the class you call multi_search on (multi_search is a class method that gets created by aaf in the model class the acts_as_ferret call is in). Article.multi_search ... should finally work ;-) btw, Term.multi_search will, too, it doesn't matter which of the classes you pick. Jens -- Jens Krämer webit!
