Question

  @search = Sunspot.search(Event, Person, Organization) do
    keywords params[:q]
    order_by(:score)
  end

Based on the search results I’d like to create a list of Models with counts for each model.

• Events (12)
• People (5)
• Organizations (3)

Is there a way to do this type of grouping in Sunspot?

<% @search.each_hit_with_result do |hit, result| -%>
    <%= result.class %> <!- Gives me Model, but repeated -->
<% end %>

Answer 1

There is probably a smarter way, but one possible way is to get array of the classes like this

classes = @search.results.map(&:class) # this will give array of returned classes

then do as suggested in this link

h = Hash.new(0)
classes.each { | v | h.store(v, h[v]+1) }

# h = { 3=>3, 2=>1, 1=>1, 4=>1 }

hope that helps
