Question

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?

Answer 1

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')
