Hi Morgan
With three fields, you're going to want to link each param to the appropriate
field in your index. So, with that in mind, the code might look a little like
the following:
def index
Source.search :conditions => field_conditions, :page => params[:page]
end
private
def field_conditions
%w( text_name editor region ).inject({}) do |hash, field|
hash[field.to_s] = params[field] if params[field].present?
hash
end
end
This will build up the conditions hash only when there's actually text to
search for in that field.
Let me know if this isn't clear, or if you have more questions :)
