I''m trying to create a search field using the form_tag helper. The problem is when I enter a search, the url_for returns an address such as host.com/search?term=foo. I want to use the format host.com/search/term. I have it set up in routes to recognize the format search/:term, but form_tag always uses the format host.com/search?term=foo. Does anybody know how to do this? Cheers!

all I can think of is that order of routes matters, and there may be a conflict with the default \:controller\:action scheme. try moving it up the list, but be careful that it doesn''t break the rest of your routes.

I have the route at the top of the file and it still doesn''t work.
Here
is the line from my routing file:
map.connnect ''products/search/:term'',
:conditions => { :method => :get },
:controller => ''products'',
:action => ''search''
and here is the rhtml where I display the search bar:
<% form_tag({:controller => ''products'', :action =>
''search''}, {:method
=> ''get''}) do %>
<%= text_field_tag :term, params[:term] %>
<input type="submit" value ="search" />
<% end %>
When I search using this bar, I always get addresses like this:
http://localhost:3004/products/search?term=hello. Anything look wrong
with the above? Thanks for the help!

Well, besides connect being spelt with three n''s I don'' think that there is anything wrong with your code. And rails is behaving exactly as expected too. When the form is created, I believe that rails will generate html like this (it did when I looked at your code); <form action="/products/search" method="get"> <input id="term" name="term" type="text" value="fred" /> <input type="submit" value="search" /> </form> So, "term" is supposed to vary depending upon what the user keys in but then "term" is also supposed to appear into the html before the user types in anything. I don''t think that there is much change of that working. The URL generated from the form is fine. http://localhost:3004/products/search?term=something is correct. The routing is working. You can see this if add some code to the search.rthml view that displays the value of the params[:term]. Also a URL like http://localhost:3004/products/search/here-is-my-term works. params[:term] is set to "here-is-my-term" in the search method of the controller. When the user then keys in a value into the form and clicks the submit button, the URL becomes http://localhost:3004/products/search/here-is-my-term?term=<some user entered value> Maybe dropping the route and just letting the form do it''s thing is the simplest way forward? regards, Bruce.

Have a google for the term ''scraping a web page''. That''s what you''re trying to do, unless of course that "other" html page is on your server already.
