Am I missing something or would I need to use find\_id\_by\_contents and  
populate a results list with my own objects (or add ‘score’ to my AR  
instances and populate that) in order to be able to get a score out when  
iterating the results (like on a search results page)?

Said another way, it seems find\_by\_contents does not provide any access  
to score in the resulting list. Is this true?

Thanks!

John

Hi John,

Looks like it’s possible in SVN:
