Query Parameters in URL from a Rails form

I have a filter sidebar that starts with a Rails form_tag and contains a range slider and a bunch of check_box_tag.

It posts and filters fine. It even persists on the next page as I render it with the checkbox values.

However, if you refresh the page, or send a link to someone, the filters are lost.

The only way I've seen how to do it is to use redirect_to and merge the params, but I'd rather not make a second call.

How can I pass all the options as query params?

As you're not creating anything I would recommend using GET requests with query string parameters. So the query can be shared with the url.

Url for your example image would be something like: 

http://www.yourwebsite.com/?max_price=5

Which gives you a params[:max_price] in controller.
