it is really important piece of code

tks for sharing!

lib/active_admin_custom_filter.rb

module ActiveAdmin

module Inputs
class FilterCustomInput < ::Formtastic::Inputs::StringInput
include FilterBase

  def to_html
    input_wrapping do
      label_html <<
      builder.text_field(input_name, input_html_options)
    end
  end

  def label_text
    I18n.t('active_admin.search_field', :field => super)
  end

  def input_name
    "#{super}"
  end
end

end

end

it works better with newest activeadmin

The class seems to have changed in 1.0.0.pre. This works for me.

module ActiveAdmin
  module Inputs
    module Filters
      class CustomInput < ::Formtastic::Inputs::StringInput
        include Base
        include Base::SearchMethodSelect

        filter :contains, :equals, :starts_with, :ends_with

        def to_html
          input_wrapping do
            label_html << builder.text_field(input_name, input_html_options)
          end
        end

        def label_text
          I18n.t('active_admin.search_field', field: super)
        end

        def input_name
          "#{super}"
        end
      end
    end
  end
end
