Question

I have a column called cached_votes_up in Communities table.
Now I’d like to fetch the records ordered by its number.

@search = Community.search do  
    fulltext params[:search]
    with(:genre_id, params[:genre])
            order_by :cached_votes_up, :desc
    paginate :page => params[:page], :per_page => 5
end 

@communities = @search.results

But this returns the following error:

No field configured for Community with name ‘cached_votes_up’

Answer 1

You need to index the cached_votes_up attribute of your object. Add these lines in your Community model:

searchable do
  integer :cached_votes_up
end
