A simple and lightweight ‘search’ method for ActiveRecord::Base models that will search text/string-based columns for a specified critieria.

Example

  MyModel.search('some text')

You may also add normal ActiveRecord.find options, e.g.:

  MyModel.search('some text', :limit => 20)

You may specify which columns get searched in your ActiveRecord model by specifying seacher_column or seacher_columns, e.g.:

  class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
      searcher_column :col1, :col2
  end
