Proposal: advanced search syntax

[stereobooster]

Github has search syntax. Can we do the same with ransack? For example, query "x:1 y:>2" converted to { x_eq: 1, y_gt: 2}.

I built prototype for this https://github.com/stereobooster/search_syntax. WDYT?

@stereobooster this looks like a really interesting idea, let me look into it.

@stereobooster that is a really great idea, are you still using your prototype?

[stereobooster]

@ericenns yes, it is used in one project. To be fair I never had to touch it again after implementation
