I prefer what you did @ https://gist.github.com/steveklabnik/6705873

I've tried like 20 different things with search module and stuff in the past year and never was satisfied by it. I think searching would be much easier to build in an abstract way if it would be possible to list the scopes for an ActiveRecord::Base. Is there a reason why it's not available?
