Hi,

i have 2 model, Merchant and Items and using acts\_as\_taggable\_on  
Merchant has\_many Items, and i try to find Merchant with search logic  
including the tags

class Merchant \< ActiveRecord::Base  
acts\_as\_taggable

has\_many :items  
end

class Item \< ActiveRecord::Base  
acts\_as\_taggable

belongs\_to :merchant  
end

This works

> > Merchant.tagged\_with(‘Tag 1’)

but this doesn’t

> > Merchant.tagged\_with\_or\_name\_like(‘Tag 1’)  
> > Searchlogic::NamedScopes::OrConditions::UnknownConditionError: The  
> > condition ‘tagged\_with’ is not a valid condition, we could not find  
> > any scopes that match this.

Can anybody help me with this ?

Thanks
