    <p>I'm trying to save Ransack searches to the database. I believe I should be able to just store the <code>params[:q]</code> value, then append that to the search URL when I want to recall the search. I don't know how to save the <code>params[:q]</code> value, though.</p> <p>The URL that Ransack creates is something like this:</p> <pre><code>http://site.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&amp;q%5Bone%5D=something&amp;q%5Btwo%5D=&amp;q%5Bthree%5D=&amp;q%5Blow_number%5D=0&amp;q%5Bhigh_number%5D=300000&amp;q%5Bfour%5D=&amp;commit=Search </code></pre> <p>My route to the action that will save the search is:</p> <pre><code>match 'users/:id/saved_search_add' =&gt; 'users#saved_search_add', :as =&gt; :saved_search_add </code></pre> <p>If I use this code in the view:</p> <pre><code>&lt;%= link_to('Save Search', saved_search_add_path(current_user, :q =&gt; params[:q])) %&gt; </code></pre> <p>With this code in the controller:</p> <pre><code> def saved_search_add @saved_search = Search.create(:query =&gt; params[:q].to_hash, :user_id =&gt; @user.id) respond_to do |format| if @saved_search.save format.html { redirect_to(:back) } else format.html { redirect_to(:back) } end end end </code></pre> <p>Then the data stored is:</p> <pre><code>--- !ruby/hash:ActiveSupport::HashWithIndifferentAccess one: '' two: '' three: '' low_number: '0' high_number: '300000' four: '' </code></pre> <p>So, I need to somehow format the data as it's going into the database (and perhaps also as it's coming out?)... I've read something about serializing it, but I haven't had much luck getting that to work.</p> <p>How can I get <code>params[:q]</code> into my database, to be used later to recreate the full search URL?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
