Looking for a gem that can do full-text-search of active-record tables
Hi All, I have a table of 500! entries that needs to be used as a pick list, or a selection list. 500 entries is way overkill for a selection list, so I am looking for a gem/plugin that can search across stipulated fields of an AR table or tables. Any help is appreciated.

have a look at thinking_sphinx http://freelancing-god.github.com/ts/en/ You will need sphinx installed and running but will easily wire up your AR tables as a search index Adam On Wed, Sep 9, 2009 at 7:18 PM, explainer <keburgett-Re5JQEeQqe8AvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org> wrote:> > Hi All, > > I have a table of 500! entries that needs to be used as a pick list, > or a selection list. 500 entries is way overkill for a selection > list, so I am looking for a gem/plugin that can search across > stipulated fields of an AR table or tables. > > Any help is appreciated. > > >
