search.scala

newOptions += search.map((search: String) => {
  val splitString: Array[String] = search.trim.split(" ")
  val conjunction = Restrictions.conjunction

  for (term <- splitString; disjunction = Restrictions.disjunction; searchString = "%" + term + "%" if term.nonEmpty) {
    Array("name", "description") foreach((field) => disjunction.add(Restrictions.like(field, searchString)))
    conjunction.add(disjunction)
  }

  conjunction
})
