rails singular resource still plural?

Question

I have a search route which I would like to make singular but when I specify a singular route it still makes plural controller routes, is this how it\'s supposed to be?

Answer 1

Yes, that's how it's supposed to be. Quote from the Rails Guide on Routing:

Because you might want to use the same controller for a singular route (/account) and a plural route (/accounts/45), singular resources map to plural controllers.
