# Add Caoutsearch to your models

The simplest solution is to add Caoutsearch::Model to your model and the link the appropriate Index and/or Search engines:

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Caoutsearch::Model

  index_with ArticleIndex
  search_with ArticleSearch
end

If you don't need your models to be Indexable and Searchable, you can include only one of the following two modules:

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Caoutsearch::Model::Indexable

  index_with ArticleIndex
end

class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Caoutsearch::Model::Searchable

  search_with ArticleSearch
end

The modules can be safely included in the meta model ApplicationRecord. Indexing & searching features are not available until you call index_with or search_with:

class ApplicationRecord < ActiveRecord::Base
  include Caoutsearch::Model
end
