But i failed to get the result,so please giude me

Currently am using like

User.where("email like ? or email like ?", "%abc", "%ddd")

Answer 1

I think ransack can't solve this.

# search.rb on ransack gem
def build(params)
  collapse_multiparameter_attributes!(params).each do |key, value|
    if Constants::S_SORTS.include?(key)
      send("#{key}=", value)
    elsif base.attribute_method?(key)
      base.send("#{key}=", value)
    elsif @context.ransackable_scope?(key, @context.object)
      add_scope(key, value)
    elsif !Ransack.options[:ignore_unknown_conditions]
      raise ArgumentError, "Invalid search term #{key}"
    end
  end
  self
end

params argment is like { :email_cont => ["kingston@jenorish.com","admin@jenorish.com"] }

In build method,just call send("email_cont=", ["kingston@jenorish.com","admin@jenorish.com"])

So you just do as below:

User.where("email like ? or email like ?", "%abc", "%ddd")
# SQL is ...
# =>  SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE (email like '%abc' or email like '%ddd')
