Can't believe I didn't think to use `to_s` since I did that with other parts in my app!
With that said it is not accomplishing what I set out to do (I never establish my reasoning in the original post). Using *gsub(/\s+/, ' | ') *will allow me to string keywords together. I know this because originally my coded appeared like this: @users = User.search(params[:search].gsub(/\s+/, ' | ') But now with further developing the app I am adding more search capabilities so that the website is more user friendly. I added preselect search options which uses *@users = User.search(params[:query]* . I am not able to use both at the same time, which is why I was trying to add gsub to my query params to see if that would do the trick. That way users can opt to do manual search or select options to search. I guess in lamest terms, simple search and advanced search. I have simple search working separately. And when I replace the code with advanced search, then the advanced search is working properly. I just can't manage to get them both to function at the same time under the index action. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thinking Sphinx" group.
