Send parameters as an array, not separately. (JQuery)

In my project, I have a series of checkbox inputs. When users check/uncheck them, the I use $.get in javascript to send the values to a different page.

What I mean is:

<form id="category_search">
  <input name="category" type="checkbox" id="1" value="1"> <label for="1"> Cat1 </label>
  <input name="category" type="checkbox" id="2" value="2"> <label for="2"> Cat2 </label>
  <input name="category" type="checkbox" id="3" value="3"> <label for="3"> Cat3 </label>
  ...
</form>

When they are clicked, I use $("#category_search").serialize() to get the checked values and send them to the different page.

But when they are sent, they are shown in the url as:

category=1&category=2&category=3

I would like to send them altogether (as an array?) like the following:

category=1,2,3

How can I achieve this?
