Questions tagged [meta-search]

MetaSearch is a Ruby gem that uses object-based searching for creating search forms.

MetaSearch simplified the task of creating search forms in Ruby on Rails. It provided a DSL for querying models by adding custom fields to the form builder.

The gem is no longer maintained and has been replaced by Ransack. Ransack is a rewrite of MetaSearch and provides many of the same features, but has been designed so that it is easier to maintain with future versions of Rails.
