Following the suggestion of Alex W. ([http://beautifulpixel.com](http://beautifulpixel.com)), I  
have decided to make it so that this plugin only takes effect when the  
create\_resource\_finder method is explicitly called. Previously, if the  
plugin was installed it would affect all controllers unless you  
specifically asked it not to. Unfortunately this change means that  
version 0.2 is incompatible with 0.1 but I think this is acceptable due  
to the plugin being only a few days old - the reasoning is that it will  
make the “magic” much more obvious to other developers.

Additionally, this format allows the specification of configuration  
options. I believe it should now be able to fit 99% of use cases for a  
find\_foo method. If it doesn’t fit your requirements please let me know  
why!

For updated documentation and instructions, including the new  
configuration options, please see

As always, feedback is very welcome.

Cheers,

Jon
