For that particular search, you'll have to build your own search queries. The only other option is to load all records into memory and filter by the age instance method, but of course you don't want to do that.
Searchlogic will still make the search easier though. You can convert the age from an integer into a datetime object and use it in a Searchlogic search like so: age = 29 User.birthdate_greater_than(age.years.ago).birthdate_less_than((age - 1).years.ago).all Hope this helps!
