Hi all,  
I’m trying to implement search features in my application.I’m using  
act\_as\_ferret plugins. But i’m facing some problems. The problem is ,  
I am not able to display the search results in the get\_results.rhtml  
page. Also, once the index is built and I dont delete the previous  
one, it throws the following error:

NoMethodError in Search#get\_results

Showing app/views/search/get\_results.rhtml where line #5 raised:

undefined method `field’ for {}:Ferret::Index::LazyDoc

Extracted source (around line #5):

2:  
3: \<% for result in @results -%\>  
4:

5:   
**6: \<%= result.field(‘title’).string\_value %\>\</  
strong\>**  
  
**7: \<%=  
highlight(result.field(‘teaser’).string\_value,  
 @search\_term) %\>**  
  
**8:**
