Hello,
How do you handle advanced searches in Rails, i.e., anything more than
one field?
I searched the archives but wasn’t able to find a good example of this.
[I also noticed the forum itself has no advanced search yet!]
This is another of those common scenarios–like advanced lookup
functionality–that I’d address if I was inventing a Web framework.
I’ve been re-reading the Agile Rails book but couldn’t find a discussion
of search functionality (“search” also isn’t listed in the index).
I’m sure people are building search functionality and I’m just missing
something!

find_all_by_fielda_and_fieldb(vala,valb) will do it.
If it’s more complex, you can use:
find(:all, :conditions => [‘foo=? and bar!=?’, [vala, valb]])

Hey Alex,
Thanks. I may be making this more complicated than it needs to be in
Rails.

I’m a newbie but I think that is what Ferret is for.
