When I use act\_as\_ferret with will\_paginate the first page of results  
creates links for all items instead of the filtered result. On other  
pages it works correctly. For example:

#controller  
@users = User.paginate User.find\_with\_ferret(‘name:g\*’), :page =\>  
params[:page] ||= 1, :per\_page =\> 2

#view  
\<%= will\_paginate @users %\>  
\<% for user in @users %\>  
\<%=debug(user.name)%\>  
\<% end %\>

\<%=“Page Count: #{@users.total\_entries}”%\>

When on page 1 I get 7 results (which is all the items in the index)  
instead of 3 which is the result count. When on page 2 or more it works  
right showing 3 for total\_entries. When I go back to 1 it shows 7  
results again. Is there to correct this?
