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I have an indexed model called Article and I don\'t want solr to index unpublished articles.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

A small look into the code base of sunspot_rails reveals a method called maybe_mark_for_auto_indexing which will be added to the models that include solr. You could override that method and set @marked_for_auto_indexing based on your criteria in the specific model. Its monkey patching but can help you solve the problem. The code for ur reference is in lib/sunspot/searchable.rb.
