Need help for simple form tag (noob)

Rails
1

when the user click on “Search” I would like it to point to
http://curentpage/?filter=searchtext (the filtering code is already
written)

it would look like this:

<%= start_form_tag(url_for_options = {}) %>
<%=text_field (<my_filter>) %>
<%= submit_tag(value = “Search”)%>

any idea how to do this?

thanx in advance

ok thanx a lot, I’m using params[:filter] in my controller and it works
great.
Now I’m trying the post method like this:

<%= form_tag({}, :method => ‘get’) %>
test autocomplete
<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :stage, :sujet %>
<%= submit_tag ‘Search’ %>
<%= end_form_tag %>

the autocomplete part works great but how can I get the posted value? I
get
a url like ‘?object%5Bmethod%5D=textvalue’

thanx in advance

This’d probably work:

<%= text_field_with_auto_complete :stage, :sujet, :name => ‘filter’ %>
