Searchkick - Searching Polymorphic Associations

Tim Dowling asked in Gems / Libraries

I have an activity feed (thanks Chris for the lesson) and I would like my users to be able to search the feed for search terms. The activity is created on a nested record. Is there a way to search my using the dynamic polymorphic type to find the model? Maybe by defining the search data?

Hello, you can create a search method in your Activity model or a service object that takes a search term and returns relevant activities. In your controller, you would set up an action to handle the search request. In your view, you can add a search form to allow users to input their search terms.
