Consider this in routes.rb

resource :places do
    resource :people
    get 'search'
end

When I do this in browser:

localhost:3000/places/search

It gives me invalid id for place error.

I’m looking to do this without using a “match”

resource :places do
  resource :people
  get 'search', :on => :collection
end
