Thanks David. After a couple of reads through I don't really grasp that.
Where would this go in relation to the controller description I posted
(?);
@mock_user = mock_model(User)
User.stub!(:search_active).and_return([EMAIL PROTECTED])
Would it work in the do_get? Further to this, am I right in thinking
that I would write a spec along these lines;
> it "should not expose @results for the view" do

Also (I'm assuming that the 'model examples' are the User model spec),
the user_spec.rb doesn't have any specs that relate to search. Are you
suggesting that there should be some in there, or, are all your
suggestions all related to the controller example I posted? Please bear
with me, I'm not much of a developer.
