hi guys, i have a search form set up which points to my search controller. When I hit "submit" in the form, it activates the perform_search method in my search controller. It works ok. A typical GET request that is performed would look like this: http://my-test-box.local:3000/search?search[category_id_equals]=8&search[sub_category_id_equals]=& search[location_like]=&search[new_equals]=0&search[title_like] =&commit=Search Now, I would like to make a "hot list" in my index page which is basically links to "hot" items. I am using the link_to helper but i can''t seem to generate parameters similar to what it is like from a form. My perform_search method has been coded to take search parameters strictly from "params[:search]". In short, I need to be able to generate a url with parameters that start with "[search]" followed by the attribute name and query value. Something like: http://my-test-box.local:3000/search?search[item_id_equals]=8 . How do I go about doing that? thanks :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

hello, Philip,
Yes, it worked like a charm and it makes sense!
<%= link_to ''test'', root_path(:search => {:one => 1,
:two => 2}) %>
Perfect! thank you :)
