OK, solved my own problem--the answer was implicit in a lot of Jens'
responses here but I didn't grok it. Here's the correct code:
Lender.find_by_contents(params[:name], {:limit=>:all},
{:conditions=>["sta1 = 'DC'"]})
Reason: If you don't use the :limit option, find_by_contents limits the
number of results automatically, and does so BEFORE ActiveRecord applies
the conditions.
Hope this helps someone.
