Dynamically set distinct option

[chrismhilton]

I would like to set the result :distinct option dynamically depending on whether or not my search requires a join.

Previously when using MetaSearch I was able to determine whether or not a join was required using the following:

@search.join_dependency.join_associations.empty?

Could you please advise how I could implement an equivalent check using Ransack.

It looks like distinct is automatically used when necessary now, at least under Rails 4.1. Maybe the explicit distinct option is no longer necessary for most cases?
