Hi Guys,

```
I want to have a ferret search on table community in "advance

```

search" section. Here if I give “information technology” as search  
string it has to index through industry field of community, so we can  
index through that by giving in fields list.

Also in “normal search” I want to search through communities based on  
community name only, but not industry. But as I have given “industry”  
for indexing it is searching industry as well.

So the main issue is in advance search I want it to search through  
industry only, and in normal search I want it to search through  
community name only. Please guide me, as to how can I do it, or give me  
some code snippet.

TIY.

Cheers,  
Santosh.
