Hi,  
Who uses acts\_as\_searchable? How do you deal with pagination? Can it  
“plug in” to the paginate function in Rails?

Hi Petr,

If you’re using the solr part of the acts\_as\_searchable plugin I suggest  
you switching over to this new acts\_as\_solr plugin. That’s what I did  
about 2 days ago and I’m much happier with the features provided by it.

In your case if you need to do the pagination, simply do  
YourModel.find\_by\_solr(“query”, :start =\> 0, :rows =\> 10) or if you want  
the result to return only the ids, then do  
YourModel.find\_id\_by\_solr(“query”, :start =\> 0, :rows =\> 10)

If it interests you: [http://acts-as-solr.rubyforge.org/](http://acts-as-solr.rubyforge.org/)

Thanks,

Jimmy

Does this use Hyperestraier too?

I guess Id have to write my Next/Previous page function myself (easy), i  
was just wondering if theres a way to integrate it into the paginate  
rails object (Paginate.new). Cheers
