Exclude draft articles from Solr index with Sunspot

Question

I have an indexed model called Article and I don\'t want solr to index unpublished articles.

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  searchable do
    text :         


        

Answer 1

Be sure to index the published status.

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  searchable do
    text :title
    text :body
    boolean :is_published, :using => :published?
  end
end

Then add a filter to your query

Sunspot.search(Article) do |search|
  search.with(:is_published, true)
  # ...
end
