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

Is the search really a resource? If it is, then what you a creating is an instance of a model with a type of "search", in which case the plural controller "searches" makes perfect sense.

However, if it's a controller that doesn't have multiple models, then maybe not. In which case, you don't need to define the routes with resource :search you can simply use get 'search/create' to tell the router to answer "search/create" to the 'create' action in your 'search' controller.
