so how can i get the parameters my and author in there. I;m using a link_to method, something like this <%= link_to "google it", "http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=&as_epq=my+author"; %> any idea how to do this? I also checked the CGI module on railsapi.com, and found something like this Module CGI::QueryExtension * actionpack/lib/action_controller/cgi_ext/query_extension.rb Methods I * initialize_query Instance Public methods initialize_query() Neuter CGI parameter parsing.
