Hope this clarifies my question.
Basically I have 5 fields (last_name, middle_name, first_name,
mother_full_name, father_full_name) in a table called names,
When I search a keyword "john", I would like to search it on a whole table.
For example, is there any way to just do db(db.names.contains("%john%"))
and it gives a list of rows with a searched keyword stored in it instead of
doing this ==>
db((db.names.last_name.contains("%john%")&(db.names.first_name.contains("%john%")&(db.names.mother_full_name.contains("%john%")....))
Thank you.
