Rails - Dec 2007 - Accessing directly to show action with a submit button.

Hi everybody!

I''m working on a google-like search engine, using Ferret to index
documents on a smb share.
Everything works fine, but I still would like to get rid of the
useless action ''check_query'', that doesn''t do
anything else than
redirecting to ''show'' with an id parameter (queries
don''t need to be
checked/sanitized for Ferret AFAIK).

# documents_controller.rb ##################################
...
def check_query
    redirect_to :action=>''show'', :id=>params[:query]
end

def show
    @query=params[:id]
....
########################################################

# documents/index.haml ###################################
....
-form_tag(:action=>:check_query) do
  = text_field_tag :query, @query, :size=>60,
:class=>''text_field''
  = submit_tag "Search!", :class => ''btn''
...
########################################################

# routes.rb ###############################################
ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
  map.resources :documents, :collection=>{:check_query=>:post},
:member=>{:download=>:get}
  map.connect ''documents/:id'',
:controller=>''documents'',
:action=>''show'', :id => /.*/
....
#########################################################

I use this check_query action only because I didn''t succeed in
configuring form_tag to send "get" method with id parameter = query.
I tried

-form_tag({:action=>:show},{:method=>:get}) do
  = text_field_tag :id, @query, :size=>60,
:class=>''text_field''

without success... The submit button redirects to :index with those parameters:
{"commit"=>"Search!",
"action"=>"index", "id"=>"some
query",
"controller"=>"documents"}


Do you know by any chance how I could do this?


Thanks,
Eric
