thank you for the feedback, felix,
so, for a start, i will just check if there's a exact match for
title/name fields.
if not found, try a more broad regex LIKE '%$conditions%' for title/name ,
if not found, search in other fields
$conditions = $this->params['url']['s'];
$results['exact']['filme'] = $this->Filme->findAll(array('title'=>$conditions));
if not found
$results['fuzzy']['filme'] = $this->Filme->findAll("title LIKE
'%".$conditions."%'");
if not found
$results['full']['filme'] = $this->Filme->findAll("slug LIKE
'%".$conditions."%' OR titulo_original LIKE '%".$conditions."%' OR
titulo_ingles LIKE '%".$conditions."%' OR sinopse LIKE
'%".$conditions."%' OR description LIKE '%".$conditions."%'");
and use that array on the view
looks simple and effective, but i'll post when i can make something better
thank you
