How to index and search multiple foreign keys in aaf

Ruby Apps Ferret
#1

Let’s say I have a class Job that has a series of possible locations
that are stored as a sequence of foreign keys

class Job
acts_as_ferret {
:locations => {}
}

def locations
“1,25,23,15”
# ??
end
end

Is that a good way to store the location ids?

How would I search for Jobs in a certain location

Job.find_by_contents(‘locations(25)’)

cheers

I’d say ‘locations:25’ but besides that this looks like it could work.
To be on the safe side do not separate the ids with ‘,’ but with ’ '.
