Hello guys,
Im trying to make an advanced search form, actually i did like Ryan
Bates
teaches in this railscast :
But my problem is that i dont want to save the searches in my database
and i
dont know how to do this…
In the railscast, there was a comment like this:

For those who may not know, if you don’t want to save your searches in
the
database, but would like all benefits of using an AR model (like
validations), you can use virtual attributes:
*class Search < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessor :keywords, :category_id, : minimum_price, :maximum_price
validates_presence_of :keywords
blah…
end*
Everything works the same, just doesn’t save anything. And no need for
a
migration or ‘searches’ table in db.
But i tried it, and when i put the att_accessors in my model and try to
make
the search, the search returns me all the produtcs… it dont make the
search…
Does anyone knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks
