I am currently writing a search method for my rails applications and at
the moment it works fine. I have the following in my game.rb:
def self.search(search)
if search
find(:all, :conditions => [''game_name LIKE ? OR genre LIKE ? OR
console LIKE ?'', "%#{search}%", "#{search}",
"#{search}"])
else
find(:all)
end
end
No that searches fine but my problem is that if there is a record in
game_name that has the words playstation in it will finish the search
there and only return that record rather than that as well as all games
that have playstation stored in console. Now I understand that is
because I have OR in my conditions but I don''t know an alternative. AND
simply requires all the conditions to match or no return at all. What is
an alternative I can use to AND and OR. Help would be much appreciated.
If there is a solution that has seperate search boxes and entries then
that would be fine, I don''t necessarily require the search to find it
all based on one search form.

IF you really need to search over several columns, use concat() for db
columns... like
scope :search, labda{|search| where("concat(name, genre, console) like
?", "%#{search}%").presence || all }
and then use
Model.search(''value'')

Hey I found out my problem, it was because I did not have the % symbol in the last two search calls, all works fine now. Do you know how I would be able to make it as three separate search boxes and buttons instead of all going in to one? All I know is how to search every column under one form but would like to do it as three separate forms. Not like in the advance search by railscast but three text fields with three submit buttons.

It''s a very neat search gem, and it allows you to create specialized search fields just by naming those fields according to a dsl. So your controller would look like this: @q = ModelName.search(params[:q]) @model_names = @q.result(:distinct => true) No changes needed no matter what sort of hijinks you get up to in your view: <%= search_form_for @q do |f| %> <%= f.search_field :foo_cont, :class => ''search'' %> (foo contains the search parameter) <%= f.search_field :bar_start, :class => ''search'' %> (bar starts with the search parameter) <%= f.submit :name => nil, :value=> ''Search'' %> <% end %> It contains the following predicates, which you just tail on to the name of the field you wish to search: eq not_eq matches does_not_match lt lteq gt gteq in not_in cont not_cont start not_start end not_end true false present blank null not_null And if that''s not enough, you can create your own very directly.

Hey I installed the ransack gem and have added some basic code to my
code but have received an error now on my page which is the followin
undefined method `result'' for #<Array:0x44cd540>
I have the following code in my gamescontroller.rb
def index
@q = Game.search(params[:q])
@game = @q.result(:distinct => true)
end
and the following code in my games/index.html.erb
<%= search_form_for @q do |f| %>
<%= f.label :game_name_start %>
<%= f.text_field :game_name_start %>
<%= f.submit %>
<% end %>
any ideas of what the problem might be?

That may be overriding the one in the Ransack gem. Ransack returns an Arel collection, not an array.
