I’m trying to do a query like this: Widget.find(:all, :conditions => [name like %awesome%])

I’m trying to do a query like this:

Widget.find(:all, :conditions => ["name like %awesome%"])

However, I’m getting a “malformed format string” exception from sanitize_sql, specifying the “%” as the problem.

How can I perform this query?

    Try this syntax:

    term = "awesome"
Widget.all(:conditions => ["name LIKE ?", "%#{term}%"])
