Rails routes on query string

Question

I'm new to Ruby on rails. Now I have a search form in my homepage. When I enter something (like abc) in the form and submit, I would like the page to call my action info in my controller search. How should I configure the routes?

The current url is ~/info/?utf8=%E2%9C%93&location=berkeley&commit=submit

<div id='search_form'>
<%= form_tag('info/',method: "get") do %>
<%= text_field_tag('location', @location, :size => 30) %> 
<%= submit_tag "submit",  class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
<% end %>
</div>

Add the following to your routes file:

get '/info', to: "search#info", as: 'search_info'

This gives you search_info_path and you can use it in your form_for declaration as follows:

<%= form_tag(search_info_path, method: "get") do %>

<%= form_tag some_path, method: "get" do %>
<%= text_field_tag('location', @location, :size => 30) %> 
<%= submit_tag "submit",  class: "btn btn-large btn-primary" %>
<% end %>

You can use path helper in you form_tag that leads to your controller.

i think this is wrong ('info/',method: "get")

run rake routes for look helper`s
