[Rails] Re: AR's find_by_* limits return results. How to avoid id?

You should use 'where' if you are using rails 3.  the find_by method is not suggested now. Hence your problem is easy to be resolved by "User.where(:age=>25)

When I use find_by_name method I get LIMIT 1 result.

But the "age" column is not unique in my table and its value may repeat.
So I expect that an array of records where "age" is 25 will be returned.
But AR limits the query by 1.

How to avoid it? Or is it the default behavior of "find_by_" methods to
limit queries by 1?
But it is not mentioned in Rails Guides then
