I've been developing Rails apps now for about three years and I was always mystified why there was no mainstream approach for running searches against my models. I didn't like the ferret and sphinx approaches as they create MONSTER index files that have to be deleted from time to time with a CRON job. Instead, I stumbled upon a reasonably universal approach and have followed this for all projects. If you're still in a quandry after you read this, send me an email and I'll copy you some parts of my code that will explain it. Best of Luck, David
