Oops, forgot about that one.

The generators put the search function in your front controller. The generated function calls Hobo::Controller#site_search which calls Hobo.find_by_search and then renders the result. It seems to me like you'd probably want to reimplement Hobo::Controller#site_search, replacing the call to Hobo.find_by_search with your own finder. In other words, cut and paste site_search into your front_controller, and replace the first two lines:

    def site_search(query)
results = ModelA.find(:all, :conditions => ...) + ModelB.find(:all, :conditions => ...)
      all_results = results.select { |r| r.viewable_by?(current_user) }
      if all_results.empty?
render :text => "<p>"+ ht(:"hobo.live_search.no_results", :default=>["Your search returned no matches."]) + "</p>"
      else
        render_tags(all_results, :search_card, :for_type => true)
      end
    end

It seems to me that we should split site_search into two functions so that nobody has to do any cut and pasting.

entity type

I think he was referring to the live-search and not a particular model
search.  I looked but found no documentation on how (if possible even)
to change what the live-search searches.  I know there's a search
method on the front controller by default but as to how to go about
changing it, don't know.

Using the agility tutorial example:

    def show
      @project = find_instance
      @stories =
        @project.stories.apply_scopes(:search    =>  [params[:search],
:title],
                                      :order_by  =>
parse_sort_param(:title, :status))
    end

You can simply add further scopes to the chain or the apply_scopes:

    @project.stories.not_completed.apply_scopes(...)

You can either use Hobo's automatic scopes:

http://cookbook.hobocentral.net/manual/scopes

or Rails' named scopes:

Hi,

I have a requirement to search only one type of entity or allow user to
select which entity she wants to search on.

The default search basically searches across the board, so question is
how can I configure it to search just the entity which user wants?

abbasi
