DogTheDataHunter

Adds a named scope named search to any of your models. Once included, you can search on any attribute you specify.

Example

You have a User model and would like to be able to search all users by either their first name, last name or email address:

 class User < ActiveRecord::Base

   include DogTheDataHunter

   search_attributes :first_name, :last_name, :email, :exact_match => false

 end

This creates a named scope on the model called "search" which you can pass a string to:

User.search("Gavin").all(:order => "last_name, first_name")

Options:

• :exact_match - Should the string that is passed be an exact match for the column data or simply LIKE it?
