Access to model instance in searchable block

[Matt Lins]

Hi,

Maybe there is a better way to do this, but my Properties model needs
to be sorted differently based on the currently logged in Agent.
Hopefully, you can see what I'm trying to accomplish by the following
code (the currently logged in Agent will always be last in the sort
string of agents assigned to the property). My idea was to build a
separate sort index for each Agent that is associated with the
Property - then use that specific sort index in my controller when
searching. In order to do so, I need access to my Property instance
inside the searchable block. Here is the code that doesn't work:

Any ideas on to pull something like that off?

Thanks,

Matt

Could you just stick all of the values in one multiple: true string field?

From the documentation:

Whether the field should index multiple values (the method/block used
to generate the data returns an Array). Multiple-value fields cannot
be used for sorting, for reasons that are fairly obvious when you
think about it.

Just to clarify, I'm creating these strings for sorting based on the
current user that's logged in (the current user is always at the end
of the associated users string - which is an option for sorting).

Can :multiple somehow work for me Andy?
