I'm tried the following, which semi-works:

results =Blog.multi_search(@query, [Article, MediaFile, MusicTrack])

However, each on of those models has associations. Additionally, I need 
to pass :conditions statements (e.g., only find published articles). For 
instance, an article has comments, a MusicTrack has albums, genres, and 
artists. Right now, this works, but it is not pre-featching associations 
or using conditions. Is there a way to enable that like...

results =Blog.multi_search(@query, [Article(:conditions => ['published = 
?', yes], :include => [:article_comments], MediaFile, MusicTrack])
