Take a look at ransack from activerecord-hackery. It provides various ways to perform searching

Rayan Bates has recorded an episode of railscasts for the same

Gemfile

 gem 'sunspot_rails'

bash

 bundle
 rails g sunspot_rails:install
 rake sunspot:solr:start
 rake sunspot:reindex

models/article.rb

 searchable do
   text :name, :boost => 5
   text :content, :publish_month
   text :comments do
     comments.map(&:content)
   end

   time :published_at
   string :publish_month
 end

  def publish_month
    published_at.strftime("%B %Y")
  end

articles_controller.rb

  def index
    @search = Article.search do
      fulltext params[:search]
      with(:published_at).less_than(Time.zone.now)
      facet(:publish_month)
      with(:publish_month, params[:month]) if params[:month].present?
    end
    @articles = @search.results
  end

articles/index.html.erb

 <%= form_tag articles_path, :method => :get do %>
   <p>
     <%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
     <%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
   </p>
 <% end %>

 <div id="facets">
   <h3>Published</h3>
    <ul>
      <% for row in @search.facet(:publish_month).rows %>
      <li>
         <% if params[:month].blank? %>
           <%= link_to row.value, :month => row.value %> (<%= row.count %>)
         <% else %>
           <strong><%= row.value %></strong> (<%= link_to "remove", :month => nil %>)
         <% end %>
      </li>
      <% end %>
    </ul>
 </div>
