The information in which field a hit occured is not available from
Ferret results directly, so to find this out you'd have to re-run the
query against each of the fields in question for each record in your
result set (scope your search to exactly this record by using
"id:#{record.id}" as a part of your query).
Not a good solution, I must admit - might be easier (and faster) to run
separate queries for each field in the beginning and then manually merge
these results, preserving the information which field had the hit.
But beware of duplicates because of records having matches in multiple
fields. Also such records would score better if you only ran one query across
all fields - so maybe you would want to still do that to get exact
scores for sorting the results by relevancy...
I feel like there should be an easier way to do this, maybe somebody
else has a better idea?
