Add the following search method to your model
def self.search(query)
criteria = query.split
wild_criteria = []
criteria.each do |criterion|
if criterion == "AND" || criterion == "OR"
wild_criteria.push(criterion)
else
wild_criterion = "*"+criterion+"*"
wild_criteria.push(wild_criterion)
end
end
wild_criteria.pop if wild_criteria.last == "AND" ||
wild_criteria.last == "OR"
wild_query = wild_criteria.join(" ")
self.find_by_contents(wild_query)
end
This also removes trailing logical operators, which will prevent it from
screwing up a live search.
