bind Redis::Search callback event, it will to rebuild search indexes when data create or update.

class Post
  include Mongoid::Document
  include Redis::Search

  field :title
  field :body
  field :hits

  belongs_to :user
  belongs_to :category

  redis_search_index(:title_field => :title,
                     :score_field => :hits,
                     :condition_fields => [:user_id, :category_id],
                     :ext_fields => [:category_name])

  def category_name
    self.category.name
  end
end

class User

  include Redis::Search
  
  field :name
  field :tagline
  field :email
  field :followers_count
  
  redis_search_index(:title_field => :name,
                     :prefix_index_enable => true,
                     :score_field => :followers_count,
                     :ext_fields => [:email,:tagline])
end

class SearchController < ApplicationController

    Redis::Search.query("Post", params[:q], :conditions => {:user_id => 12})
  end
  
  # GET /search_users?q=j
