Short alias for long compound search field

[estum]

I have search field with very long parameter name: user_bill_info_fullname_or_user_bill_info_phone_or_user_bill_info_address_cont. How to create short alias for it, �eg bill_info?

[gamov]

Can't you just store it in a variable?

I've �already did so… I would like to see it in pretty url with GET params.�

If you people need this feature then the best way to get it in would be to submit a patch for it.

I found solution.
There is don't need alias.
You can use ransacker
In my case, in Person model

ransacker :full_name do |parent|
      Arel::Nodes::InfixOperation.new(
        '||', parent.table[:first_name_ru],
        Arel::Nodes::InfixOperation.new(
          '||', parent.table[:last_name_en],
          Arel::Nodes::InfixOperation.new(
            '||',
            parent.table[:first_name_en],
            parent.table[:last_name_ru]
          )
        )
      )

and if the form

= search_form_for @q do |f|
  = f.text_field :full_name_cont, placeholder: t('.search')
