Answer 1

There's the railsdog's searchlogic fork on github that supports Rails 3.

You can add it to your Gemfile like this:

gem 'rd_searchlogic', :require => 'searchlogic', :git => 'git://github.com/railsdog/searchlogic.git'

It also doesn't work for me on Rails 3.2 - lib/searchlogic/named_scopes/ordering.rb:45:in `method_missing': stack level too deep (SystemStackError) – Careerist

I have had the same issue as John Douthat. – Economist

Answer 2

In rails 3, you could use meta_search instead.

It is very similar to searchlogic but

<%= order @search, :by => :name, :as => "Order By Name" %>

is changed to

<%= sort_link @search, :name, "Order By Name" %>

Matt has answered the way to get back searchlogic :D Actually meta_search works just like searchlogic and after replacing those order to sort_link, it should works as expected ^^ – Lehmbruck
