I think you are searching for "SEARCH USING JQUERY".

There is a good tutorial here

First you must create your controller like this:

def index
   @products = Product.search(params[:search]).order(sort_column + " " + sort_direction).paginate(:per_page => 5, :page => params[:page])
end

Then your model:

def self.search(search)
  if search
   where('name LIKE ?', "%#{search}%")
  else
   scoped
  end
end

Your index view:

<% form_tag products_path, :method => 'get', :id => "products_search" do %>
 <p>
   <%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
   <%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
 </p>
 <div id="products"><%= render 'products' %></div>
<% end %>

Javascript view:

$("#products").html("<%= escape_javascript(render("products")) %>");
