RecordSelect configures through one method with optional arguments, like this:

class UsersController < ApplicationController
  record_select :search_on => [:first_name, last_name]
end

The options you can pass are:

• :model: the name of the model you want to expose. defaults based on the name of the controller
• :per_page: how many records to show per page when browsing
• :notify: a method name to invoke when a record has been selected, if you want server-side notification.
• :order_by: a SQL string to order the search results
• :search_on: a field name, or an array of field names. these fields will each be matched against each search term.
• :full_text_search: a boolean for whether to use a %?% search pattern or not. default is false.
• :label: a proc that accepts a record and returns a descriptive string. the default one calls :to_label on the record.
• :include: as for ActiveRecord::Base#find. can help with search conditions or just help optimize rendering the results.
