 ## What is rails-simple-search?
 rails-simple-search is a Ruby gem. It can help Ruby on Rails developers **quickly**
 implement searching/filtering function against database. If you're not looking
 for a full-text searching solution, this plugin will most probably **satisfy all**
 your searching requirement.

 From time to time, I need to build pages to show a list of narrowed down records
 from a database table by giving some searching criteria on some columns of the
 table and/or of some referencing tables. Before I implemented this plugin, I usually

+## How to construct field names
+1. Let's call the model we're search for is the base model. If you just want to search
+against any direct fields of the base model, we just use the table field name as the html
+input field name. For example
+```
+   "email"
+```
+
+2. If you need to search against fields of the base model's association, you can just
+use the association name and the table field name with a dot "." connecting them. Like this
+```
+   "address.city"
+```
+
+3. You can chain the associations more than 2 layers. For example, we're going to
+find out the users whose posts have been commented by someone whose first name we happen to know.
+```
+   "posts.comments.user.first_name"
+```
+
+4. Sometimes we need to find out something according to a range of time, or a range of numbers,
+we can attach "_greater_than", "_greater_than_equal_to", "_less_than", or "_less_than_equal_to".
+For example, we need to find out the users who birth date is between a range, the field names
+can be like this
+```
+   birth_date_greater_than
+```
+and
+```
+   birth_date_greater_than
+```
+
+5. Sometimes we need to express the idea of "or", for example, I know roughly a user's name, but
+not sure if it's her first name or last name, we can do it like this
+```
+   first_name_or_last_name
+```
+
+6. We can even use the "or" relation with association fields. For example
+```
+   posts.comments.user.first_name_or_posts.comments.user.last_name
+```
+
+
