users = query.find(:cname => "thoughtbot")
</code></pre>

Now, what's tricky is that you could pass any syntax-changing value to that and you'd get the right SQL in the executed query.

<filter:code lang="ruby">
query.find :cname => "thoughtbot"              # =>   company.name = "thoughtbot"
query.find :cname => nil                       # =>   company.name IS NULL
query.find :cname => ["Google", "37 Signals"]  # =>   company.name IN ("Google", "37 Signals")
