Hello,

I would like to pass the search results to an export method to create an  
excel spreadsheet. Is there a way to pass the search results object in a  
URL? The URL being created is:

[http://localhost:3000/expenses/export?object=%23\<ActsAsFerret%3A%3ASearchResults%3A0x2132fc0\>](http://localhost:3000/expenses/export?object=%23%3CActsAsFerret%3A%3ASearchResults%3A0x2132fc0%3E)

Thanks!
