Rails - May 2006 - need help for simple form tag (noob)

when the user click on "Search" I would like it to point to
http://curentpage/?filter=searchtext (the filtering code is already
written)

it would look like this:

<%= start_form_tag(url_for_options = {<something>}) %>
<%=text_field (<my_filter>) %>
<%= submit_tag(value = "Search")%>

any idea how to do this?

thanx in advance

<%= form_tag({}, :method => ''get'') %>
<%= text_field_tag ''filter'' %>
<%= submit_tag ''Search'' %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

works
great.
Now I''m trying the post method like this:

<%= form_tag({}, :method => ''get'') %>
<label class="required" for="document_filter">test
autocomplete</label>
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :stage, :sujet %>
<%= submit_tag ''Search'' %>
<%= end_form_tag %><p>

the autocomplete part works great but how can I get the posted value? I get
a url like ''?object%5Bmethod%5D=textvalue''

thanx in advance

This''d probably work:

<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :stage, :sujet, :name =>
''filter'' %>
