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

Do you want only one route to be generated for the creation?

If so:

resource :search, :only => :create

The fact that the controller for the REST resource is named searches_controller is a convention (that you can change, by forcing the controller's name in the route with resource :search, :only => :create, :controller => :search, but it does not worth it...).
