As a quick reply...

Yes setA has a sensible -as expected value, but setax is always nil. I
can go to the debugger window and do setax = setA.split(" ") and then
setax has the proper value. How is that happening?

No, the variables are not the column names. The setA and setB data are
put into a table named 'searches' and column named 'terms'. The setA
and setB data are entered from a form using form_for.

Thanks
