Ruby select from array where key is like parameter

I have a list of objects that I want to filter by a parameter in the URL.

So for example:

@items = items.select { |item| params[:q] == item.name }

However this will match EXACT... how can I make it behave as a LIKE?

@items = items.select { |item| item.name.include?(params[:q]) }

Edit:

If you need the matching to be case insensitive.

@items = items.select { |item| item.name.downcase.include?(params[:q].downcase) }

You can use a regexp:

pattern =  /#{params[:q]}/
@items = items.select { |item| pattern =~ item.name }
