Hi, I’m creating a simple web app for with multiple tables my  
university assignment and I need to create a search function. I’ve  
heard about some search plugins and gems but I’m not sure which is the  
best one to use. I’m not much of a coder so if anyone could reccomend  
a fairly easy plugin/gem that would not require alot of configuration  
that would be great!

Thanks,  
Sam.

Try searchlogic - it is easy to use (although you say you are not a  
coder, so easy may be relative).
