ruby on rails 3 - How to use the search in acts as taggable -

i using acts-as-taggable-on gem.

i want use search both name tags in single search field

my model

class user < activerecord::base    acts_as_taggable   attr_accessor: :name, :age, :country, tag_list    def self.search(search)     if search       where('name ?', "%#{search}%")     else       scoped     end   end end 

controller

class userappscontroller < applicationcontroller    def index     @users = user.search(params[:search])     //@users = user.tagged_with(params[:search])   end end 

help me solve this.

one way add both results 1 using + :

@users = user.search(params[:search]) @users = @users + user.tagged_with(params[:search]) 

a better solution change search method in model return full result:

where('name ?', "%#{search}%") + tagged_with(search) 

but if want split name search tag search, can split them scopes or , use it:

scope :name_contains, -> (query) { where('name ?', "%#{query}%") } 

and in search method:

name_contains(search) + tagged_with(search) 

btw if want name search case insensitive use like:

scope :name_contains, -> (query) { where("replace (lower(name), ' ', '' ) ?", "%#{query.downcase}%") }
