# Admin Search
|
|
|
|
For admin views that need to take advantage of searching and filtering, we've
|
|
chosen to use [Ransack][ransack].
|
|
|
|
Ransack is a Ruby gem that makes searching relatively painless. It has excellent
|
|
documentation, but if you're looking for an example of how it's being used on
|
|
Forem, we've implemented it to help searching and sorting user reports.
|
|
|
|
The view responsible for managing user reports can be found at
|
|
`localhost:3000/admin/reports` and Ransack can be seen in use on the index
|
|
action of the [`admin/feedback_messages_controller`][feedback_messages].
|
|
|
|
For Forem, Ransack is being used exclusively in admin, for search problems in
|
|
other parts of the app we use [PostgreSQL Full Text Search][postgres_fts].
