Re: [ts] default_sphinx_scope and searching across multiple models

[Pat Allan]

Hi Roger

Yes, that's correct - scopes are tied to single models, and a global search isn't in the scope of any model. Thus, Thinking Sphinx doesn't try to use any scopes.

I'm afraid there's no way around this beyond adding the filter into the search manually yourself - though if you have thoughts on how TS could be improved in these scenarios, I'm certainly interested to hear them :)

This all works perfectly when searching single models, but when performing a search across multiple models it seems this scope is ignored. I glanced quickly at the code, and, it seems this is by design (lib/thinking_sphinx/search.rb:add_default_scope()).

Hi Pat,

I'll see if I can have a closer look at the source code to make some more informed questions soon. But if my memory serves me right, isn't the global search really just an abstraction for searching each individual model by itself? It's not really an entirely different beast, right? And if so, wouldn't it be easy and kind of logical to have an option for wanting to respect each models scope? In my mind this would also be the most logical default setting, but I see that this would break stuff for people already using scopes and global search.

Not trying to be difficult here, just trying to understand. :-)

Cheers,

Roger

Hi Roger

Not quite - a global search is actually across all indices at once. It's just when these results are translated into ActiveRecord objects, each model receives one find call - but the context of the search results is maintained.

If that wasn't the case, then yes, you'd be right, each model's default scope should be respected - but it doesn't apply in this situation. It's just a single search call, one set of conditions, one set of filters, etc.

Cheers

Right. Thanks for clearing that up!
