Moduler solution to add search functionality for selected fields.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'make_model_searchable'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install make_model_searchable

Usage

To add search functionality to a model, for example User add following line to your model.
class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  searchable_attributes :first_name, :last_name
end

Then use

def index
  User.search("something")
end

searchable_attributes line makes model searchable by adding search method to User model. Specifying attributes by :first_name, :last_name enables searching in specied fields. It is optional to specify attributes, if no attributes are specified then all attributes are searched.

To enable searching from associations, you can mention asssociation name with attributes to be searched from that association as below:

Suppose our user has many posts, then in our model

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :posts
  searchable_attributes :name, posts: [:title]
end

or if you want to search from all text or string fields,

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_many :posts
  searchable_attributes :name, posts: []
end

Then use,

def index
  User.search("something")
end

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
