如何在Rails中将jQuery与Sunspot一起使用？

Question

I just want to display the search result in the same page without redirecting to default search link like ".....search=&commit=Search". My original intention is use jQuery to render the same form with the search result. And the remote option is set below

>   <%= form_tag index_by_dvp_path,:method => :get do %>
>        <p>
>           <%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
>           <%= submit_tag "Search",remote: true %>
>        </p>
>        <% end %>

But when I click the search button, the page still redirects to the default link as I mentioned.

I'm not sure where it the problem.

You can use the :remote => true option for the search form

<%= form_tag index_by_dvp_path,:method => :get, :remote => true do %>
  <p>
   <%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
   <%= submit_tag "Search",remote: true %>
  </p>
<% end %>

and submit the form to an action that will fetch the results of your search in controller. Also respond with format.js in the same method

def index_by_dvp
  @values = Model.where(params[:search])

  respond_to do |format|
    format.js
  end
end

in index_by_dvp.js.erb

$('#your_div_for_search_result').html("<%= escape_javascript(render :partial => 'your_search_partial')%>")
