I have routes:

```ruby
namespace :admin
  resources :movies do
    collection do
      get :drafts
    end
  end

```

How should I query them? Assuming I need to retrieve all movies and then draft movies. It’s simple to get all movies using `this.get(‘store’).find(‘movie’)`, but how to get drafts? After traversing RESTAdapter source I think it’s impossible to specify a path suffix. Well, I can override `findAll`:

```javascript
App.Store = DS.Store.extend({
  revision: 11,
  adapter: DS.RESTAdapter.extend({
    namespace: 'admin',
    findAll: function(store, type) {
      return $.getJSON("/admin/movies/drafts");
    }
  })
});

```

But now it’s impossible to retrieve all movies from `/admin/movies` path.

Any idea how to write custom finders for models? Any plans to make ember-data to support custom paths out of the box?

Probably noone can understand what I want. I believe this post much better to understand [ember.js - Ember Data load models from different paths - Stack Overflow](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19619348/ember-data-load-models-from-different-paths)

I have the same use case with something like a `/search` endpoint nested under resources. I generally just use `$.getJSON` for non REST endpoints, but I’m interested to see what the convention is here.

Look at my stackoverflow post. There is a “solution” below.
