If you're using PostgreSQL, you can use pg_search gem. It's support full text search, with option any_word:

Setting this attribute to true will perform a search which will return all models containing any word in the search terms.

Example from pg_search:

class Number < ActiveRecord::Base
  include PgSearch
  pg_search_scope :search_any_word,
                  :against => :text,
                  :using => {
                    :tsearch => {:any_word => true}
                  }

  pg_search_scope :search_all_words,
                  :against => :text
end

one = Number.create! :text => 'one'
two = Number.create! :text => 'two'
three = Number.create! :text => 'three'

Number.search_any_word('one two three') # => [one, two, three]
Number.search_all_words('one two three') # => []
