Ruby

Object-based searching.

Ransack::Configuration#search_key=

The default `search_key` name is `:q`. The default key may be overridden
in an initializer file like `config/initializers/ransack.rb` as follows:

Ransack.configure do |config|
  # Name the search_key `:query` instead of the default `:q`
  config.search_key = :query
end

Sometimes there are situations when the default search parameter name
cannot be used, for instance if there were two searches on one page.
Another name can be set using the `search_key` option with Ransack
`ransack`, `search` and `@search_form_for` methods in controllers & views.

In the controller:
In the view:
<%= f.search_form_for @search, as: :log_search %>
