+NOTE: Ransack currently works with either Active Record or Mongoid, but not
 both in the same application. If both are present, Ransack will default to
-Active Record only. Here is the code containing the logic:_

-  @current_adapters ||= {
-    :active_record => defined?(::ActiveRecord::Base),
-    :mongoid => defined?(::Mongoid) && !defined?(::ActiveRecord::Base)

+Active Record only. The logic is contained in
+`Ransack::Adapters#instantiate_object_mapper` should you need to override it.
