Thanks for creating a sample app. I am sure this will be helpful for a lot 
of other people.

I was thinking of doing it in the controller like such....

User.search(query, :conditions => { :ethnicity => params[:ethnicity], 
:religion => params[:religion] })

Wasn't sure if that would be an ideal way of doing it. I'm going to examine 
what you did and see how it pans out for me.

Will keep you posted. Thanks!
