Ransack: Ransack form search field value not persisted between requests when using alias

[fidalgo]

When I search, using an alias I cannot get the value of the searched parameter in the field.
In the name field I have tested and it's working fine.
My code:
In controller:

  def index
    @q = Customer.ransack(params[:q])
    @customers = @q.result(distinct: true)
  end

In model:

  ransack_alias :quick_search, :name_or_phone_or_mobile_or_email_or_vat_identification

In view:

      <%= search_form_for @q do |f| %>
      <%= f.search_field :quick_search_cont, class: "form-control"%>
    </div>
    <div id="table-filter" class="well filter-well">
      <div class="form-group">
        <%= f.label (:name) %>
        <%= f.search_field :name_cont, class: "form-control" %>
      </div>

Any update on this? I'm having the same problem.

If it helps anyone, I worked around this using value option:

= f.search_field :quick_search_cont, value: params.dig(:q, :quick_search_cont)

Also ransack sorting ignores aliases.
