Multi Column Search Plugin¶ ↑

# Currently requires Rails 3 Active Record or above

v 0.0.2

Quick and dirty multi column LIKE searches. Need to search accross multiple columns, like company(name, address, city, state, zip)

Running lots of queries or have a large data set? You should probably upgrade to a real search back-end already!

Install as plugin¶ ↑

rails plugin install git://github.com/jackhq/multi_column_search.git

Add a search method to your model by calling multi_column_search with the fields you want to search.

class Company
  multi_column_search :name, :address, :city, :state, :zip
end

Search for a single or multi value across all searched columns.

Company.search('Sam Comp')             # => any company with name, address, city, state, zip containing with Sam Comp

Rails 3 Gem

# add to your gemfile in bundler
bundle install
