Hi

I am trying to work with acts\_as\_ferret gem. On one application  
everything works fine. On the other app the result array is always  
empty, whatever i try to search through console even though it should  
have listed some results. I have no errors in logs. I don’t know how to  
get to the bottom of this problem. I even tested it on different machine  
and still nothing. Is there a way to debug this?
