Meta_Search Rails - Search my Model method

Question

I have a User class whose model is as below. I want to be able to use meta_search to search for a user by fullName, (ie John Smith rather than John or Smith (in separate fields)).

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  search_methods :fullName

  def fullName
    firstName + " " + lastName
  end
end

And in my view:

<%= form_for @search, :url => users_path, :html => {:method => :get} do |f| %>
  <%= f.label :fullName %> <%= f.text_field :fullName_equals %>
  <%= f.submit "Search Users" %>
<% end %>

As per the documentation I should be able to use this, but it keeps raising an Exception:

NoMethodError in UsersController#index

undefined method `fullName' for #<ActiveRecord::Relation:0x#####>

Any ideas where I'm going wrong?

将attr_accessor :full_name添加到模型中。
