STI would be impractical (I don't want to add a useless "type"
column), but plain inheritance sounds like a very good idea.

I guess you meant :
class Text << ActiveRecord::Base
end
class EnglishText << Text
acts_as_ferret :fields => [name, text_en]
end
class DutchText << Text
acts_as_ferret :fields => [name, text_nl]
end
That would indeed allow to call :
> EnglishText.find_by_contents("english query")
> DutchText.find_by_contents ("dutch query")
Clean and simple.
Thanks a lot.
