Thinking Sphinx and Ransack in the same application?

Rails
1

I have Ransack set up to do simple attribute-based search in my
application. Now, I’m trying to add TS to the app to enable full-text
searching. Trouble is, both of these define a Model#search method. Has
anyone here ever tried this combination? Is there a way to rename the
search method on either of these?

Thanks in advance,

Walter

Digging at this a little more in console, it appears that TS completely
clobbers Ransack’s search, so I know that much so far.

Use ‘ransack’ method for a ransack search
[examplehttp://stackoverflow.com/a/10421755/820520].
This should solve all your problems.
