Assuming you are using mysql the easiest way is probably mysql’s
fulltext search (because you don’t need to worry about running
indexing tools, having a search daemon running etc.)

should add that this lacks some of the sophistication of other
solutions and that the reason I stopped using it on one app was
because it was getting pretty sluggish with a couple of hundred
thousand documents.

In Nick Plante and David Berube’s book “Practical Rails Plugins”
Chapter 16 talks about implementing the plugin Sphinx to do Full Text
Search.
