Routing Rails 3 with string parameter

I'd like to be able to direct 

/samplecontroller/search

with a :q parameter. How do I do this in rails 3? I currently have

 match 'samplecontroller/:search' => 'samplecontroller#search'

but all it gives in rake:routes

/samplecontroller/:search(.:format)   {:action=>"search", :controller=>"samplecontroller"}

The controller expects

def search
    @search = Post.search(:include => [:comments]) do
      keywords(params[:q])
    end
  end

Thanks!

In routes.rb:

 match 'samplecontroller/search' => 'samplecontroller#search'

Your version said that :search was a parameter for the route. Removing the leading colon tells it to match that whole string literally.

Just do

match 'samplecontroller/search' => 'samplecontroller#search'
