Sunspot `LIKE` query

Question

I\'m using sunspot. How can I run a LIKE query (LIKE %q%)? I would like to do something like this:

 @search = Sunspot.         


        

Answer 1

If you use the standard DisMax handler, it does not support wildcards. You have 2 options:

a. Activate EdgeNGramFilter:

  
    ..
    
    ..
  

b. Use nightly build Solr with EDismax Handler.
