[Rails] Re: returning image in my search results

Hello... +1 for paperclip or attachment_fu; they will make this a lot
easier for you.

Earlier this year I wrote a detailed tutorial on how to setup and use
Paperclip in a new Rails application. Coincidentally, my example was
to attach photos to users and then to show different size photos. At
the bottom, I explain how to display a thumbnail for each user in a
table, similar to what you're trying to do.
