Question

I’m working on a Rails site, and I’ve got my database indexed with IndexTank. I have things set up so that to search, all I have to do is browse to [root]/search?q=[query]. To simplify things, I’m planning on just dropping a HTML form with a textbox and a submit button in amongst the erb, but I’m not quite sure how to pass the information from the text box to the end of the /search?q= line.

I’m sure that this is terribly basic, but I’ve been Googling all morning and I’ve come up empty-handed.

Answer 1

<form action="/search">
    <label>Search term <input name="q"></label>
    <input type="submit">
</form>
