Rails 3 UTF-8 query string showing up in URL?

Question

I have a search query form on my home page (/)

<% form_tag(search_path, :method => :get) do %>
  <%= text_field_tag \'query\' %>
  <%= subm         


        

Answer 1

This parameter is a new feature of rails 3.

It was previously the snowman.

It helps IE to really use utf-8.

Avoid using form_tag and it works:

  <%= text_field_tag 'query' %>
  <%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil%>
