Well, since you're doing search you might want to look at ferret and
acts_as_ferret. It creates an index file for searching and you can
use methods to generate index fields. As a bonus it's really fast and
has nice powerful search syntax. It did take a little work getting
pagination going with it.
If you do use it, here's the code I used to get pagination going:
lib/ferret_pagination.rb (required in environment.rb)
module ActsAsFerret
module ClassMethods
def paginate_search(query, options = {}, find_options = {})
page = options[:page] || 1
per_page = options[:per_page] || 10
total = options[:total_entries]
pager = WillPaginate::Collection.new(page, per_page, total)
options.merge!(:offset => pager.offset, :limit => per_page)
result = find_by_contents(query, options, find_options)
returning WillPaginate::Collection.new(page, per_page,
result.total_hits) do |p|
p.replace result
end
end
end
end
And here's an example modified index method:
def index
conditions = 'publication_id IS NULL'
query = params[:search].blank? ? '*' : params[:search]
@letters = Letter.paginate_search(
query,
{:page => (params[:page] or 1),
:per_page => (current_user.try.per_page or 10) },
{:conditions => conditions} )
@letters.member_class = Letter
end
