Yeah, I ran 'rake routes' to study the routing but I just didn't think
I'd have to add to it. I specified the 'get' method to ticket_path
with an ID param coming in...I don't understand why that wouldn't
work.
So the search method will now render the show method? or redirect_to?
or what?
Thanks for the help.
