Rails Search form - Pass parameter from view to controller

I have the following in my view:

<%= form_for :search do |f| %>
      <%= f.label :search %>
      <%= f.text_field :search  %>
      <%= f.submit 'Search' %>
<% end %>

I am attempting to create a post action from the f.submit button which will route to a specific controller action. I then need that action to redirect back to my initial view, but pass in the text_field parameter on the redirect. How can I access the text_field parameter in my view as well as pass it through a redirect?

The easiest way to do it is from this question: Passing parameters in rails redirect_to

redirect_to search_path({ :search => params[:search] })

your parameters will come in a normal hash, and you can access them via params[:search][:search] in your controller.

generally just look into the rails server log, you can see the data your browser sends to rails right there
