Table plus search type

[tomkins]

I have noticed that the table plus search box always takes the value as a string, is there any way to search by the same type as the column in SQL, eg date?

Thanks.

I think you should add a custom search control and you can ask the controller to catch the param for the column and process it in the model .

You're entirely responsible for the search. All table-plus does is
provide it in params[:search] to your controller method. The
examples generally pass params[:search] to the search automatic scope,
but you don't have to do that.

For example, you could do:

begin
self.this = Foo.find_by_date_published(Date.parse(params[:search]))
rescue ArgumentError => e
self.this = Foo.search(params[:search], title)
end
self.this = self.this.paginate(:page => params[:page)
