ruby on rails - Ransack search, how to search for each word by splitting input search parameter -

i experimenting using ransack gem conduct search on model in rails. stands using basic setup.

controller:

def index   @q = person.search(params[:q])   @people = @q.result(:distinct => true) end 

view:

<%= search_form_for @q |f| %>    <%= f.label :name_cont %>    <%= f.text_field :name_cont %>    <%= f.submit %> <% end %> 

i have managed find lot of information conducting searches on multiple fields, however, haven't managed find me split :q parameter , thereby enable me search each of (unknown quantity of) words in search string entered in form of search ??? , ??? , ??? ..., rather searching entire string in 1 section

is able point me in right direction?

having spent chunk of time looking no results, opted custom, non-ransack option works well.

in view.html.erb

<%= form_tag siteindex_search_allproducts_path, :method => 'get' %>     <b>search: </b> <%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>     <%= submit_tag "search", :name => nil %> <% end %> 

in controller

@findproducts = allproduct.order('price asc').search(params[:search]) 

in model.rb

def self.search(*args)    return [] if args.blank?    cond_text, cond_values = [], []    args.each |str|        next if str.blank?          cond_text << "( %s )" % str.split.map{|w| "product_name ? "}.join(" , ")        cond_values.concat(str.split.map{|w| "%#{w}%"})     end     :conditions =>  [cond_text.join(" , "), *cond_values] end
