Search feature for cakephp

Submitted by Derick Ng on 4 January 2010 - 3:18am

I wanted to implement a search feature in my cakephp application. I found this article for implementing cakephp search.
http://bakery.cakephp.org/articles/view/search-feature-to-cakephp-blog-example

It had a google code repository found here:
http://code.google.com/p/searchable-behaviour-for-cakephp/

Things seemed to work okay until I ran into an issue trying to save a search able model from another controller.

  1. Model A and Model B are search able
  2. From Controller A, I call $this->Model B->save

Index fails and throws error because searchable.php behavior is trying to
use Model A as the saving Model

I posted this on the issue board of the google code page for this feature, but I have received no responses. I figured that I would give stackoverflow a shot.

Thanks!
