Pagination with Search

Quite hard, I've spent 2 days figuring this out ( since I'me new to RoR World )

Here is what to do.

1. Install Mislav Will Paginate Plug in ( http://github.com/mislav/will_paginate/wikis/home )
gem install mislav-will_paginate

2. Edit config/environment.rb and add this sentence to very bottom of the page
require 'will_paginate'

3. restart webbrick
script/server

4. Change the index method to include paginate
edit app/controllers/employees_controller.rb

  # GET /employees
  # GET /employees.xml
  def index
    if params[:term]
      @employees = Employee.paginate(:all,
                                 :conditions => ['first_name LIKE ? OR 
                                                   last_name LIKE ? OR
                                                       email LIKE ? OR 
                                               mobile_number LIKE ? OR
                                                 description LIKE ? ', "%#{params[:term]}%",
                                                                       "%#{params[:term]}%",
                                                                       "%#{params[:term]}%",
                                                                       "%#{params[:term]}%",
                                                                       "%#{params[:term]}%"],
                                    :page => params[:page], :per_page => 2 )
    else

      @employees = Employee.paginate(:page => params[:page], :per_page => 2 )
    end

    respond_to do |format|
      format.html # index.html.erb
      format.xml  { render :xml => @employees }
    end
  end

5. Edit the view and add this
<%= will_paginate @employees %>

6.Enjoy
