For some reason, my find\_by\_contents searches do not find the matches  
that exists for my datetime data. Has this happened to anyone else?  
If I run a manual search with find using the same exact parameter of  
course it discovers the records. I DO have my fields declared in  
acts\_as\_ferret, so that’s not the problem. Thanks.
