搜索仅在完全搜索上工作而不是部分搜索 ruby on rails

Question

I have the following search query

where("contact_type = 'supplier' and name = '#{search}'")

Let's say I'm searching for John for John Doe this doesn't work, however, if I search for the full name John Doe the search works. How do I get it so I can do a partial search while retaining the current query?

Answer 1

You have to try like query:

where("contact_type = 'supplier' and name like ?", "%#{search}%")
