Does it work correctly even without the ? option? (i.e. :near=>/./). Then the helpers should escape the value correctly and generate URLs which can be recognized correctly. The current behaviour is 'intentional', because you're meant to get a routing error out the other side when you try to generate a route which wouldn't be 'round trippable'. -- Cheers Koz --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core" group.
