Searching issue with the rails-sunspot gem

I'm very new to Solr and the Rails Sunspot gem, but it looks very promising for complex searching on a big database.

What I'm trying to do is allow a model in my rails app to be searched on a few fulltext columns and then a collection of its "filters" (which are just a has_and_belongs_to_many association of names).

I tried setting up my model search block as follows

self.searchable do
  text :name, :boost => 5
  text :description, :instructions
  text :filters do
    filters.map(&:name)
  end
end

And my controller looks like so:

@search = ModelName.search do
  keywords params[:q].to_s
end

However, I cannot seem to produce any results based on keywords found in the filters association. Am I doing something wrong? This is all very new to me.

When you initially set up your classes for search, you need to reindex the data into Solr. Have you done that? If not:

rake sunspot:reindex
