Rails MetaSearch can't use or statement to combine 2 condition

Question

Currently I'm using metasearch gem and I can't figure out how to add 2 conditions for one element in the search form.

Here is my code

f.select :market_product_status_equals, {}.tap { |h| 
  MarketProduct.status.each { |key,value| 
    h[key]= value
  } 
}, :include_blank => true

I wanted to have market_product_status_equals or :market_product_status_is_null

I tried doing this

f.select :market_product_status_equals_or_is_null, {}.tap { |h| 
  MarketProduct.status.each{ |key,value| 
    h[key]= value
  } 
}, :include_blank => true

But it doesn't work

Thanks so much in advance.

Answer 1

1. how much code to do this!!! You can get a hash from an array very easily:

   f.select :market_product_status_equals, Hash[MarketProduct.status], :include_blank => true
   

2. If the available matchers do not fit your needs, just define your own, as in http://erniemiller.org/projects/metasearch/#customizing
