EasySearchForm

When i was creating search form i get bored because this is a very repetitive task, and because that i start to create this gem, this first version is the very basic but by now this is enough, and i will improve this, and if you have some suggestion please let me know this.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'easy_search_form'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install easy_search_form

Migrations

  create_table :products do |t|
    t.string :description, :null => false
    t.integer :size, :null => false
  end

Models

  class Product < ActiveRecord::Base
    # :equals tell the plugin to use "=" in SQL instead LIKE that is the default.
    acts_as_searchable :description, :size => :equals
  end

Controller

  def index
    # Replace the all for search and pass the param if the param is null it will return all.
    @users = User.search params[:query] 
  end  

View

  # Put the search_form when you want to print the search form.
  <%= search_form %>
