I added a search bar to my header, so every page in the application has one. However, the search bar only works on the home page and index pages. When I go to my contact page (just an example) it doesn't work. I have tried redirecting to my search URL, but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
search_controller.rb (controller)
class SearchController < ApplicationController
def index
@search = Sunspot.search [Dairy, Drink] do
fulltext params[:search]
end
if @search.results.any?
@results = @search.results
else
return redirect_to request_path
end
end
end
search.rb (model)
class Search < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :title
searchable do
autosuggest :search_title, :using => :title
end
end
_searchbarheader.html.erb (search bar view)
<%= form_tag search_index_path, :method => :get do %>
<%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search], style:"width:300px; height:30px;" %>
<%= submit_tag "Search!", :name => nil, class: "btn btn-default"%>
<% end %>
_header.html.erb (header view)
<div class="container-fluid">
<%= render 'layouts/brand' unless @skip_brand %>
<form class="navbar-form navbar-left">
<%= render 'layouts/searchbarheader' unless @skip_header %>
</form>
<div id="navbar" class="navbar-collapse collapse">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
<% if user_signed_in? %>
<li><%= link_to current_user.name%></li>
<li><a class="glyphicon glyphicon-cog" href="<%=edit_user_registration_path%>"></a></li>
<li><%= link_to "Logout", destroy_user_session_path, method: :delete %> </li>
<%else%>
<li><%= link_to "Login", new_user_session_path %></li>
<li><%= link_to "Sign up", new_user_registration_path %></li>
</ul>
<%end%>
</div>
My searchbar is rendered into the header, and header rendered into the app. Thank you for any help. Still learning how rails and solr works together.
