Ximate

ApproXIMATE fuzzy search for Ruby on Rails activerecord models.

Requirements

• Rails >= 3.0.1

Installation

gem install ximate

Usage

In your model puts some like this:

class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
  define_index(:en) do
    add_text title, 3
    add_text keywords.join(' '), 2
    add_text body(:en)
  end
end

In this case we can perform an appoximate search on title, keywords and body fields of posts where title is most important than keywords than body (title have priority 3, keywords 2 and body 1).

Then you can perform a search

Post.asearch('Hello world').where(:public => true).limit(5)

You can also order the results by rank (calculate by ximate)

Post.asearch('Hello world').order('rank DESC').where(:public => true).limit(5)
