I have a Person model with attributes first_name and last_name. I want to implement autocomplete search that looks that the entire name. Hence I have a method:
def full_name self.first_name + " " + self.last_name end Is it possible for me to query on full_name and have rails match the first_name and last_name fields? I currently receive this error when I try, because full_name isn't an attribute in the database: SQLite3::SQLException: no such column: full_name: SELECT "people".* FROM "people" WHERE (LOWER(full_name) LIKE 'he %') ORDER BY full_name ASC LIMIT 10 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
