Is there a way to have friendly.find simply return nil when the slug isn't available in any record, rather than raise the ActiveRecord::RecordNotFound exception?

Looking at the source code for the friendly_id finders it doesn't appear to be configurable.
def find_by_friendly_id(id)
first_by_friendly_id(id) or raise raise_not_found_exception(id)
end
You can always do basic Rails lookup with
Model.find_by(slug: 'some-nice-slug')
