Hi,  
My name is santoshkumar r Patil. I am using ferret for searching.  
I am using mult\_search for searching a query on multiple modal and there  
are different conditions on different model.  
EX  
User.multi\_search(search\_query+" AND NOT is\_deleted:1  
“,[Program],{:limit=\>limit,:offset=\>offset})  
And I have to condition “is\_visible = true” on program model.

How can I modify above query.

Can we you INNER JOIN query in find\_by\_contents and in mult\_search
