How do I show all results in an “or” query with Ruby on Rails?

Question

I tried to create a simple search function in my app.

In the model

def self.search(search)
    where("title LIKE ?", "%#{search}%") | where("description LIKE ?", "%#{search}%")
end

In controller

if params[:search]
  @advertisements = Advertisement.search(params[:search]).order("created_at DESC")

I got an error "undefined method `order' for #". What should I do?

Update your search method as

def self.search(search)
  where("title LIKE ? OR description LIKE ?", "%#{search}%", "%#{search}%"))
end
