I have active scaffold searching in fields, which works, but if there is  
more than 1 page of results and I click on next, or page 2 , it just  
defaults back to the way it was before the search params were put in,  
and  
resets the view. Here is my code:

lass PatronController \< ApplicationController  
layout “admin”

ActiveScaffold.set\_defaults do |config|  
config.actions \<\< :field\_search

end

active\_scaffold :book do |config|  
config.actions.exclude :delete, :create, :update  
config.label = “Books at Highland Park United Methodist Church”  
#config.actions \<\< :field\_search  
#config.actions \<\< :field\_search  
#config.active\_search.link.label = “Search By Field”  
config.columns = [:title, :author, :publisher, :dewey, :callletter,  
:descriptio  
config.list.columns.exclude :description, :publisher, :callletter  
#config.list.sorting = {:title =\> ‘ASC’}

end  
end
