So, what i asked for is how i can use both of them to get an optimized solution. It’s required from me to implement a simple spell checker

I'm sorry for being unclear as I'm a Rails beginner. Yes, I'm using the ActiveRecord finder method. I have a search field that searches by project name. Well, the stored project name can be very long. It's almost like a keyword search. (whoa) I think I just had an idea. I'm going to pursue that avenue. Thanks again. Thank you for the reply.

Thanks for any help. John Hello,
