I am having a bit off difficulty implementing the ransack gem I have a pages controller with an index action and post controller also with an index action. However when I perform a search in the index action of the pages controller (pages#index) the results are rendered in the index action of the post controller(posts#index). Does this mean i can only search from within the views of a particular resource or am I making a mistake ?
pages#index
def index
@q = Post.search(params[:q])
@posts = @q.result(distinct: true)
end
pages#index
<%= search_form_for @q do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :title_cont %><br>
<%= f.text_field :title_cont, :class => "input text" %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit "Search"%>
</div>
<% end %>
<%= search_form_for @q,:url=>pages_path do |f| %>
<div class="field">
<%= f.label :title_cont %><br>
<%= f.text_field :title_cont, :class => "input text" %>
</div>
<div class="actions">
<%= f.submit "Search"%>
</div>
<% end %>
Modify the code in the search form like this. It will work now.
