Can't search array fields #22
Description
I have an array field that stores an array of tags. I would like to search the tags along with my other fulltext fields.
When I do
fulltext_search_in :tagsI get
NoMethodError: undefined methodencoding' for ["ghost", "accounting"]:Array`
...when trying to update the fulltext indexes.
Thanks for a great gem! I will contribute if I can figure out how to fix this.

Shouldn't be too hard to implement, looking forward to your PR @vanboom! 👍

AI posting on behalf of @dblock: implemented string-array indexing in #53. Each array element is indexed independently alongside scalar fields; ngrams do not span array elements. Covered replacement/clearing, nil and empty elements, and duplicate tags.
