title: What is a viable replacement for Searchlogic?
body: <p>It appears that <a href="https://github.com/binarylogic/searchlogic" rel="nofollow">Searchlogic</a> doesn't work with Rails 3. (Among other things, Ryan Bates mentioned in in one of his RailsCasts, and the last question in the <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/searchlogic" rel="nofollow">Google Group</a> is from 2010.)</p>
  
  <p>So I'm looking for a replacement. I like the functionality where you craft the field names of a search form and have that get turned into a Search object and then you could get the results with <code>@search.all</code> or <code>@search.paginate</code>.</p>
  
  <p>At first, <a href="http://erniemiller.org/projects/metawhere/" rel="nofollow">Meta Where</a> and <a href="http://erniemiller.org/projects/metasearch/" rel="nofollow">Meta Search</a> looked promising. But then I found <a href="https://github.com/ernie/meta_where" rel="nofollow">this</a> notification that "MetaWhere will not be updated to support 3.1". (I'm using Rails 3.2.2.)</p>
  
  <p>The developer is <a href="http://erniemiller.org/2011/08/31/rails-3-1-and-the-future-of-metawhere-and-metasearch/#more-978" rel="nofollow">proposing a library called "Ransack"</a> as the replacement for MetaWhere.</p>
  
  <p>OK, maybe. But before I dive into "Ransack," I thought I'd put the question out there: does anyone know of another library available with similar functionality to SearchLogic as I described above? (View form populates a Search object.)</p>
