Hello,
How do you handle advanced searches in Rails, i.e., anything more than
one field?
I searched the archives but wasn''t able to find a good example of this.
[I also noticed the forum itself has no advanced search yet!]
This is another of those common scenarios--like advanced lookup
functionality--that I''d address if I was inventing a Web framework.
I''ve been re-reading the Agile Rails book but couldn''t find a
discussion
of search functionality ("search" also isn''t listed in the
index).
I''m sure people are building search functionality and I''m just
missing
something!

Hey Alex, Thanks. I may be making this more complicated than it needs to be in Rails. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
I''m a newbie but I think that is what Ferret is for.
