Usage:

You may also add normal ActiveRecord.find options, e.g.:
MyModel.search('some text', :limit => 20)
You may specify which columns get searched in your ActiveRecord model
by specifying +seacher_column+ or +seacher_columns+, e.g.:
class Foo < ActiveRecord::Base
searcher_column :col1, :col2

After losing my dedicated server (including all of my rails plugins) due to reasons beyond explanation, I was very excited to discover that HowFlow has a backup copy of my CipherMail Ruby on Rails plugin. I have added it to my GitHub account!
For those of you not already familiar with Ciphermail, here is the synopsis:
CipherMail provides a safe alternative to the mail_to helper by hiding mailto links from e-mail harvesting bots. The generated output is completely obfuscated by a 1024 bit random key. They keyword is stored on the server, so it is never revealed to the client. Processing is performed on the server-side via an AJAX request and the decrypted redirect is returned to the client, opening a mail composer window… just like normala mailto link.
