How to do a Rails search in multiple columns
19 January 2010
How do I find a search term in Rails that might be in several columns? named_scope :with_name_or_keyword, lambda { |*args| {:conditions => ["speakers.name like ? OR speakers.bio like ? OR speakers.tagline like ?", ("%#{args.first}%" || ""), ("%#{args.first}%" || ""), ("%#{args.first}%" || "")]} }
will work with something like this:
Speaker.with_name_or_keyword("Dave")
