Let's say that I want to search for Events in my app. When I display the results, I want to display who created the event, for instance.

Is there any way to add .includes(:user) somewhere, to avoid unnecessary queries (one for each event)? I can't find it in the doc. Should I just index the user name with the event? But I'd have to keep the user info up to date...

Thanks

This is an updated answer, if We need to include an nested association

Then use this

Event.search(:include => {:user => :city})

In this case it will include user and his associated city

Just in case you need to add a normal and nested include, here's what I needed:

Professional.search(include: [:user, {branches: [:business]}]) do
