What does the "%#{}%"
more specifically the %
. I know that "#{variable}" is simply string interpolation, but what about the
%`?
I am implementing a simple search form similar to Rails 4 LIKE query - ActiveRecord adds quotes.
Does it have to do with ActiveRecord or the database?

% is a wild card for SQL that represent any characters. So if you need to find anything that includes blahblah for instance, you search for %blahblah%.
