If params[:category] is the name of the field you want to search then
yes, almost. You should also put brackets around params[:query] so the
whole query is restricted to the field.
model.find_by_contents(params[:category]+":("+params[:query] + ")")
Other wise the query ruby AND rails on the :title field would look like this
title:ruby AND rails
instead of:
title:(ruby AND rails)
Hope that makes sense.
