Thanks for responding, I didn't know about the :lazy option. Or at least I didn't understand how it worked, thanks.

Now it's working, or almost. The on trouble spot is that when I highlight my results the models do get loaded. I guess is this because FerretResult doesn't have a highlight method, and that causes it to load the underlying model. To get around this I've changed from: result.highlight(...) to: result.model.aaf_index.highlight(result.id, result.model.name...) After doing that the database is no longer hit when displaying highlighted ferret results, but to do that I needed to add "attr_accessor :model" to ActsAsFerret > ResultAttributes. Is there a better way to do that? If not could you add that attr_accessor to ferret proper? It might also make sense to also add the highlight method to FerretResult to avoid the model load, but I'd still like some way to access the model class without requiring a model load since I need that to generate the right link the the original page for each result. I hope at least some of that makes sense :) Thanks again for the great toolkit.
