Just add something like this to your query string: "user_id:10"
I typically use a drop-down on the view to let the user choose limiting values like this, then I concatenate the field values in the query string before calling find_by_contents or whatever. You can find out a lot more about other query related options in the Lucene documentation too: http://lucene.apache.org/java/docs/queryparsersyntax.html Thanks, Doug On 5/24/07, Giuseppe Bertini <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello, I am exploring acts_as_ferret, and the first question that pops to mind is scoping, i.e. how to restrict searches in various ways. For example, I have a Post model with title, content, and user_id as attributes, and I want users to be able to search through their own posts only. Normally, of course, I would do Post.find(:all, :conditions=>["user_id=?", current_user], :joins=>"somejoins") What about ferret-ized models? Is there a clean way to impose such restrictions to the ferret search itself, or should one search the entire model first, and then use the returned ids to run a regular query with a "in" clause? Apologies if the answer to this is trivial, I cannot seem to google the relevant info.
