I have been searching for examples but can't seem to find one that shows
how to implement thinking sphinx as an advanced search form. I have a
social networking website, and the basic, standard search form works
excellent with geo search implemented.
I need to offer visitors an advanced search form also so they can have more
options. For example advanced search fields are gender, ethnicity, child
preference, and religion. When user selects options it should return users
with the exact matches only that were chosen. If user selected Male, Asian,
No Kids, Muslim then it should only returning users that has all of those
attributes.
Can someone give me one example of this, that way I can modify it and apply
it to the rest? I'm sure helping me will help others who wants to use this
gem as a advanced search form.
Controller:
> def index
> @search = Search.new
>
> if location = Location.find_by_zip_code(params[:search])
> latitude = location.latitude * Math::PI / 180
> longitude = location.longitude * Math::PI / 180
>
> locations = Location.search(
> :geo => [latitude, longitude],
> :with => {:geodist => 0.0..100_000.0},
> :order => 'geodist ASC',
> :per_page => 5_000
> )
> @users = User.where(zip_code: locations.map(&:zip_code))
> else
> @users = User.search(params[:search].gsub(/\s+/, ' | '),
> :geo => [current_user.latitude * Math::PI / 180.0,
> current_user.longitude * Math::PI / 180.0],
> :with => {:geodist => 0.0..100_000.0},
> :order => 'geodist ASC', :without => {:user_id =>
> current_user.id})
> end
> end
>
