like:

search_results = self.find(:all, :conditions => “#{fields} = ‘#{word}'”)

That should be converted to this

search_results = self.find(:all, :conditions => [“#{fields} = ?”, word])

at the very least, since @word@ will probably be defined by some random user. Also the building of the conditions query when there is more than 1 column needs to updated to fit that method as well.

Seems like a nifty plugin though! I’ll keep an eye on it. Probably gonna put it to use in our search on “MagneticWorld”:http://magneticworld.com soon.

I plan to move this plugin to rubyforge soon. At that point, I’ll work on expanding it to support further options, like Ferret.
