Search form validation

[spurthi gunadhar]

Hello everybody!

I am new to Ruby on rails and so my doubt would be very trivial for the most of you. But, since I do not know to tackle the problem, I would like to ask you.

I have a search method defined in my model. I need to add validations to the search method.

Should I add a javascript function in my index.html or can I validate the method in the model itself?

Note : My search method does not have a model of its own. It is defined in another model.

Please help me on this issue.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

What sort of validations are you looking to add here? What search technique are you using, and do you need to protect people from getting no results if they put garbage in?
