I'm new to Thinking Sphinx, and have been a little stymied because
there aren't many tutorials out there. I have two search forms on my
site. One just searches one field, so that's super easy, and I have
that up and working just fine. The other is more difficult, because I
need to search several fields. I'm starting with just three for now.
Here's my model:
--------------------------------Source.rb----------------------------
class Source < ActiveRecord::Base
define_index do
indexes :text_name
indexes :editor
indexes :region
has created_at, updated_at
end
end
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the controller:
------------------------Sources_controller.rb--------------------
class SourcesController < ApplicationController
def index
@sources = Source.search( (params[:search] || ""), :page=>
(params[:page] || 1))
end
...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the view:
------------------------index.html.erb------------------------------
<% unless @sources.empty? %>
<div id="results">
<%= render :partial => "results" %>
</div>
<% end %>
<% form_tag "", :method => get do -%>
<fieldset>
Text Name: <%= text_field_tag :text_name %><br />
Editor: <%= text_field_tag :editor %><br />
County/Region: <%= text_field_tag :region %>
</fieldset>
<%= submit_tag "Search" %>
<% end -%>
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
I know that the problem is in my text_field_tags. On the form where I
am just searching one field, I have "text_field_tag :search", and that
works just fine, but when I am searching multiple fields, what
parameters should I put in the text_field_tag?
For what it's worth, when I do a search using this form, the URL
contains the right parameters (http://localhost:3000/sources?
text_name=canterbury&editor=®ion=&commit=Search), but it shows all
of the records, not just the ones that match the search criteria.
What do I need to be doing differently?
Thank you!
Morgan.
