I have a simple form, where I set up a query that I want to browse, for example panasonic viera.
This is on how I search the term in database:
Product.where("name ilike ?", "%#{params[:q]}%").order('price')
The query looks like %panasonic viera%, but I would need to search the query this way: %panasonic%viera% - I need to find all products, where is in the title the word panasonic or viera... but how to make this query?
One solution would be to break up your query into individual terms and build a set of database queries connected by OR
.
terms = params[:q].split
query = terms.map { |term| "name like '%#{term}%'" }.join(" OR ")
Product.where(query).order('price')
If you're using PostgreSQL, you can use pg_search
gem. It's support full text search, with option any_word
:
Setting this attribute to true will perform a search which will return all models containing any word in the search terms.
Example from pg_search
:
class Number < ActiveRecord::Base
include PgSearch
pg_search_scope :search_any_word,
:against => :text,
:using => {
:tsearch => {:any_word => true}
}
pg_search_scope :search_all_words,
:against => :text
end
one = Number.create! :text => 'one'
two = Number.create! :text => 'two'
three = Number.create! :text => 'three'
Number.search_any_word('one two three') # => [one, two, three]
Number.search_all_words('one two three') # => []
How about via ARel
def self.search(query)
words = query.split(/\s+/)
table = self.arel_table
predicates = []
words.each do |word|
predicates << table[:name].matches("%#{word}%")
end
if predicates.size > 1
first = predicates.shift
conditions = Arel::Nodes::Grouping.new(predicates.inject(first) {|memo, expr| Arel::Nodes::Or.new(memo, expr)})
else
conditions = predicates.first
end
where(conditions).to_a
end
This isn't working?
WHERE name LIKE "panasonic" OR name LIKE "viera"
