Search redux

A simple way to add full text search to your Rails models. Currently supported RDBMs are Postgres anda simple fallback for other RDBMs (e.g. Mysql).

Search redux requires at least Ruby >= 1.9.2 and Rails >= 3.0.0 and Postgres >= 9.2.

Include the gem in your Gemfile:

gem 'search_redux'

In your model call the act_as_searchable with the columns that you want to search and the column for rank-based ordering.

class MyModel
  act_as_searchable :columns => %w(title content), :rank => 'title'
end

You can easily search via the text_search method.

class MyController
  def index
    an_article = MyModel.text_search 'query phrase'
  end
end
