Freefind Rails

Easy way to use freefind.com search service in your Rails app. You need to create an account at freefind.com first.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'freefind_rails'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install freefind_rails

Include the javascript into the asset pipeline: /app/assets/javascripts/application.js

//= require freefind

Add the _freefind_search.html.haml view partial where you want the search input box to appear

= render partial: '/freefind_search', locals: { freefind_site_id: your-id }

Make sure to pass your freefind site id into the partial as a local variable. This can be done in the parent application by hardcoding it directly or by using a Rails configuration file.

Add the _freefind_onpage_results.html.haml view partial to the same page if you want search results to populate into that same page instead of in a new page.

= render partial: '/freefind_onpage_results'
