I am using form\_for and would like the params of the entered form values  
to appear in the url. How can I do this in Rails 2.0 using “form\_for”?  
Thanks

I believe you need to define a named route so that the URL is formed  
how you want in the routes.rb file, under config, associated to  
whatever controller/action.
