Pagination in rails 3

Question

In my rails application I need to display the matching tweets .lets say for example the matching results has 50 records, I need to display 10 records per page.I am getting the output which has all results but when I use pagination its showing link to different pages , but when I click the link to next page it says "string not matched". I tried different combinations like 5 per page ,but when I click the link to the next page it says "string not matched", but when I try without pagination it shows all the results

My code for the controller

class TweetsController<ApplicationController
  def index
    city = params[:show]
    search_term = params[:text]

    search_term[" "] = "%"
@tweets = Tweets.where("tweet_text LIKE? ", "%#{search_term}%").paginate( page:  params[:page], per_page: 3)

My code for the view

<%= will_paginate @tweets %>
<% @tweets.each do |tweets| %>


<ul>



  <li><%= tweets.id %></li>
  <li><%= tweets.tweet_created_at %></li>

  <li><%= tweets.tweet_source %></li>
  <li><%= tweets.tweet_text %></li>
  <li><%= tweets.user_id %></li>
  <li><%= tweets.user_name %></li>
  <li><%= tweets.user_sc_name %></li>
<li><%= tweets.user_loc %></li>
  <li><%= tweets.user_img %></li>
  <li><%= tweets.longitude %></li>
  <li><%= tweets.latitude %></li>
<li><%= tweets.place %></li>
  <li><%= tweets.country %></li>

<% end %>
</ul>

Anyone please help me with this

You have an error in

search_term[" "] = "%"

line. If it should replace whitespace with "%", it should be:

search_term.gsub!(/\s/, '%')
