Description

I found myself with several models that belong to another "category" model. The category model did nothing but store a category name, but I wanted to be able to search on this in the belonging models. I don't think there's any way to do this associated stuff properly, but it seems like an easy/good solution is to just add the category name as an additional field to the other indexes.

This is just a very minor patch so you can specify a field that doesn't actually exist, and it will look for matching method instead. So now, in a model, I can specify: 

acts_as_ferret(:fields => [:category_name])

def category_name
  category.name
end
