[Catalyst] has_many but no left join?!

[Stephen Shorrock]

That is indeed my plan! I admittedly haven't tried a manual join perhaps as
I was under the impression search related did the same thing. Though
thinking about it now search_related will attempt to return  the related
objects thus not left joining and it it quite possibly the source of my
confusion. Many thanks for your support talking though the problem. I'm
quietly confident it will work tomorrow.

Many thanks
Stephen
