Multiple form fields for condition statement

Rails
1

I have a search form with multiple imputs and I want to build the sql
command using the find method with multiple conditions. below is the
code I’m using. When I just enter in 1 field (any of the ****value
variables) everything works out fine. but if I enter 2 or more, i get
the following message. and I have used puts statements to see what the
actual variable is that I’m passing to the :condition statement, and it
is building the array correctly, as far as I can tell. but it still
doesn’t like me. ~~

Any help is good help.

thanks.

ActiveRecord::PreparedStatementInvalid in StoreController#search

wrong number of bind variables (1 for 2) in: first_name like ? and
last_name like ?

sorry, the at the very bottom of the code, it should be w = [v,x] not w
= [v,w]

front_value_modifier[vin_type]+vin_text+back_value_modifier[vin_type]
end
w = [v,w]
if v==""
find(:all,:limit => 0)
else
find(:all,
:conditions => w,
:order => “vin_number”,
:limit => 10
)
end
end
