Hi Pat, Thanks for your prompt reply. I already thought about this one, the only drawback is that when we add a field to the index, we should also change the search to add the field to the list every,field,except,that,one,but,including,the,new,ones.
I was looking for something like: Article.search_for_ids(keywords, :with => {:article_id => article.id}, :match_mode => :extended), without => "fields,I,want,to,exclude,explicitly" On Sep 21, 12:09 pm, Pat Allan <p...@freelancing-gods.com> wrote: > Hi Marcel > > Just to confirm - you want articles that match the keywords, whether or not a > specific field matches?
