Acts As Searchable

ActsAsSearchable provides a simple way to search upon a model. It uses named_scope if available; otherwise, it will accept a block or return find(:all) with applicable conditions applied

Example

class Entry < ActiveRecord::Base acts_as_searchable :on => [:title, :body, “comments.body”, “CONCAT”, “users.login”], :include => [:comments, :user] end

belongs_to :user
has_many :comments

1. within console Entry.search(‘Josh Clayton’) #=> [<entry>, <entry>] Entry.search(‘ruby‘) #=> [<entry>, <entry>, <entry>]
