Search against associations (model relations) about textacular HOT 7 CLOSED

@benhamill no thats it! 😄
Thank you!

This should work (not tested):

User.joins(:projects).advanced_search(name: search, projects: { name: search })
Project.joins(:users).joins(:calendar).advanced_search(name: search, user: { name: search }, calendar: { title: search })

This is not documented in the README! 😢

If I understand what you're asking, then this test should illustrate what you want? https://github.com/textacular/textacular/blob/master/spec/textacular_spec.rb#L82

If not, then can you point out the difference?

Glad I could help. The README is a bit unweildy, as it is. We should probably redesign it so it's easier to find stuff. And add stuff like this. But in the mean time, if someone wanted to add a section about this feature, that would be a cool PR to see. 😄

OK. Is there a way to configure textacular like in gem pg_search? I mean, so that I can configure textacular (accents, tsearch, etc.) in every model like in pg_search (https://github.com/Casecommons/pg_search#searching-using-different-search-features):

class User < ActiveRecord::Base
  include PgSearch
  pg_search_scope :search,
                  against: [:firstname, :lastname], associated_against: {
                    projects: :name,
                  },
                  using: { tsearch: { prefix: true, dictionary: 'en' } },
                  ignoring: :accents
...

1. :tsearch (Full Text Search)
2. :prefix (PostgreSQL 8.4 and newer only)
3. :negation
4. :trigram (Trigram search)
5. etc.

Nope. Textacular doesn't have a configuration feature right now. Some of that can be messed with (look at the website or the tests), but not all. We see those two gems this way: Textacular is dead simple to get up and running if your needs aren't that complex. If you need to do more tweaking or whatever, then you should probably use pg_search.

For the PR: I will try out some complex search with textacular first. Globalize gem is widely used gem and I want to test it with textacular. 😄 @benhamill congratulations for the gem!
