ruby on rails - query in mongoid search in multiple condition -

my model this

def self.search(search)     if search     self.full_text_search(search)     else     scoped     end    end

but need add also

 self.or({start_date: /#{regexp.escape(search)}/i},{end_date: /#{regexp.escape(search)}/i})

in above search . how join 2 condition in above search. 2 query works fine independently. need make them join together. working example helpful

you can join 2 mongoid criterias using merge method:

q1 = self.scope q2 = self.or(...)  result = q1.merge(q2)
