Hi, I have the following structure with my models: A member inherits from a company A applicant inherits from a company An application has an applicant An application has a member I am attempting to do a find on the applications table where the search term either matches the applicant name or the member name. So far I have the following find statement: Application.paginate(:all, :conditions => [(["(LOWER(companies.name) LIKE ?)"] * terms.size).join(" AND "), * terms.flatten], :include => [:applicant, :member], :per_page => 10, :page => page, :order => ''applications.id desc'') It seems as if rails creates the first join in sql normally, but then creates the second join and gives it the name: members_applications. I could just add the condition or members_applications.name like ... but I don''t think this is the proper way of doing things. Another option is to do it in multiple find statements, but I don''t think this is correct either. Does anyone have a suggestion?
