Best way to display results on a new page?

[Reed Crowe]

Seems like a simple thing.

I have a simple search form with three fields on it.

The information entered helps tailor the DB query.
I have it working where it displays the data on the same form page, but I want it to display on a separate page.

What is the best way to do this?
I have tried to use a redirect, but I can not seem to get it to parse the returned data and display it.
Is redirect the correct web2py way to do it or is there another method?

Obviously I could use Django or take the data and using a python function to parse the data and display it, but I am trying to learn web2py and so far I am struggling a little bit.

Any suggestions?

I'd build the url using URL and then redirect to the controller page to build the results page.

The post at

discusses a self-redirect after a form.process().accepted, but the idea is the same for going elsewhere.

See the second paragraph.

Even more expansion:   the book explicity talks about redirecting --
