Real time search results

Rails
1
  • Not limit the result set
  • Allow user to get immediate feedback on what they have entered
  • Allow user to change field contents as results are appearing
  • Have query restart when field value changes

Can anyone point me to an appropriate reference or suggest
Rails constructs to research?

Thanks in advance.

You need to use observe_field call. Check out the tutorial at

Hope this helps,

I wrote a small tutorial on just this subject, that covers live search
and pagination of the results.
