Hi,

I have a project where the user adds content to the database, but before  
it’s indexed they have to confirm it via email.

How can I disable indexing for just one particular object, and then  
after confirmation let ferret know about it?

please see  
[http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts\_as\_ferret/rdoc/classes/ActsAsFerret/InstanceMethods.html#M000027](http://projects.jkraemer.net/acts_as_ferret/rdoc/classes/ActsAsFerret/InstanceMethods.html#M000027)  
for information about how to disable ferret indexing for a record.

You can manually trigger the indexing of a record by calling  
ferret\_update on it.
