super won't work here because the method isn't defined on a parent of
Person, it's defined on person itself. So what's happening is that
the call to method missing is generating a *new* implementation of
find_by_name which simply does the find, without your changes.
We could fix this for rails 3.0 by moving those generated methods from
Person to a module included in person, but for 2.3 you'll have to do
as Ryan suggests and use aliasing, or just call
all(:conditions=>{:first_name=>params.first}) instead of super.
