Ok thanks for your feedback, so of what I have understood in my gamescontroller.rb I will have the following: def index @games = games_relation.paginate(:per_page => 4, :page => params[:page]).search(params[:search]) end in my game.rb file I will have the following: games_relation = case params[:console].present? when true then Game.where(:console => params[:console]) else Game end and in my index.html.erb I will have the following: <%= link_to 'DREAMCAST', games_path(:console => 'Dreamcast')%> please correct me if I am wrong.
