Thank you for your reply, now it is more clear for me! But is there some to use the acts_as_ferret features (Like paginating and Highlighting) when I will display the results of my researche! for example, When I make a search on my index with ferret API, is it possible that I give acts_as_ferret the resulting topDocs object or the list of the hits to acts_as_ferret in such way that in the web page, this list will be paginated and the key words higlighted!
