See following code,
I expect it to redirect to a url
1) if user don't touch dropdown:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/default/search/<lang>/<word>?indx=0
but it shows http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/default/search/<lang>/<word>. *Why
no vars?*
2) if user altered dropdown:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/init/default/search/<lang>/<word>*?indx=5*
it's ok for first time. But if user select another item from select box
*?indx=['10'%2C+'5']
*
and if select another one *?indx=['19'%2C+"['10'%2C+'5']"]
Where did I went wrong?

In controller, before all functions, I've following,
options = [OPTION(row.full + ' - ' + row.short, _value=row.id)
for row in db().select(db.languages.ALL,
cache=(cache.ram,3600)).sort(lambda a: a.full)]
options.insert(0, OPTION('All Langauges', _value=0))
search_form = FORM(LABEL('Search a word: ', _for='word', _id='word_label',
_name='word_label'),
INPUT(_id='word', _name='word',
requires=IS_NOT_EMPTY()),
SELECT(_onblur="var f = document.search_form;
f.indx.value = this.selectedIndex;",
_name='languages', _id='languages',
requires=IS_IN_DB(db,'languages.id'), *options),
INPUT(_type='hidden', _name='indx', _id='indx',
value='0'),
INPUT(_type="submit",_value="SEARCH"),
_name='search_form')
# form verficaion logic on submission
if search_form.accepts(request.vars, formname='search_form',
hideerror=True):
lang = search_form.vars.languages
word = search_form.vars.word
indx = dict(indx = search_form.vars.indx)
redirect(URL(r=request, f='search', args=[lang, word], vars=indx))
elif search_form.errors: #adding an element in option out of the db braked
prev mechanism. (ie., showing a flash. now that's done by show() itself.
lang = search_form.vars.languages
word = search_form.vars.word
redirect(URL(r=request, f='search', args=[lang, word]))
else:
#page loads first time
pass
