Ruby on Rails-搜索适合我的宝石

Question

I am looking for a search gem and found searchkick really interesting.

I've got a few questions before implementing it

• Looked up the internet and didn't find anything about multiple resource search. Is it possible? For example: I have a model Post and User - can I search for them in just one search box?
• would this be a good idea in first case? would a search icon in the navbar make more sense? (click on it and get redirected to search page with multiple search boxes)

thanks

Answer 1

you can use elasticsearch . you can work with only one search box for all of it. it's a little complicated but it does support relations too

Answer 2

You can use multi-search in Searchkick for this purpose. https://github.com/ankane/searchkick#multi-search

Answer 3

Thats exactly what you're looking for: https://github.com/activerecord-hackery/ransack

In your Gemfile, for the last officially released gem:

gem 'ransack'

If you would like to use the latest updates (recommended), use the master branch:

gem 'ransack', github: 'activerecord-hackery/ransack'

And here's an article about how to use it basicly: https://medium.com/@jaspercurry/searching-and-sorting-on-rails-with-ransack-560e862e650a
