ransack关键字搜索完全匹配

Question

how to use ransack gem in rails for exact match of search keyword instead of partial search?

for example -

If I search for keyword "formers", it should not search for "Transformers" etc, instead serach for only "formers".

Answer 1

Use the eq predicate: https://github.com/activerecord-hackery/ransack/wiki/Basic-Searching#eq-equals

ie If you're searching the first_name field, then your form field would be first_name_eq
