Currently Is there a way to have multi column search?

Thanks.

Hi,
try this one
https://github.com/guiloyins/rails3-jquery-autocomplete

[drobazko]

Thanks a lot for advice.
Could you help me with installation of that git fork?
If I am installing that with gem install rails3-jquery-autocomplete I am getting that with original functionality (without multi search). How Can I install your fork (with multi search)?
Thanks.

Try putting this line in your Gemfile:

gem 'rails3-jquery-autocomplete', git: "git://github.com/guiloyins/rails3-jquery-autocomplete.git"

[drobazko]

thanks a lot!

Is there any chance of this getting pulled into this fork? It's great functionality.

I second brycesenz.

We are working in bringing this feature into the gem, currently there are many pull requests addressing this same issue, the best one will be merged.

Is there any update on this?

@panmari The way I typically do this is to just override the get_autocomplete_items method.

There is an example you can refer to on stack overflow for a basic example. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18716999/customize-list-from-rails3-jquery-autocomplete/18717327#18717327

I'm planning to merge the changes from the branch listed here into the next release, but I'm doing some pretty major overhauls to this gem right now so I would say just using the get_autocomplete_items method override is best for the time being.

I actually already have a working solution on my fork, but would like to change back to the main gem at some point. Thanks for your efforts :)
