:order =>

Rails
1

SELECT * FROM messages match(caption, message) against (‘Rails’)) ORDER
BY caption!=‘Rails’, caption, message

How it will looks like in Ruby?

This doesn’t work:

@word = “Rails”
@results = Blogs.paginate(:all, :order => [“caption!=?, caption,
message”, @word], :conditions => [ “match(caption,message) against (?)”,
@word], :page => params[:page], :per_page => 10)

Problem is in: order => [“caption!=?, caption, message”, @word]

Hmm, I’m not Mr SQL, so I’m not sure what exactly
this ORDER thing is doing.

@word = “Rails”
@results = Blogs.paginate(:all, :order => [“caption!=?, caption,
message”, @word], :conditions => [ “match(caption,message) against (?)”,
@word], :page => params[:page], :per_page => 10)

Problem is in: order => [“caption!=?, caption, message”, @word]

yep. the […] syntax works only for the :conditions
You can just do:

@results = Blogs.paginate(:all, :order => “caption!=#{@word}, caption,
message”, :conditions => [ “match(caption,message) against (?)”,
@word], :page => params[:page], :per_page => 10)

Though you should make sure, nobody can inject any SQL in @word

What about security? Is it safe?
