Besides the previously mentioned debugger, you can add logging
statements to your code to provide more information.

It's the web -- all request parameters are strings; if no value was set
in the client then it's an empty string.

But based on the code above --
------
@skill_search2 = String.new # blech - extraneous
@skill_search2=:skill2.to_s # ditto, also meaningless :-)

if @skill_search2.empty?
------
what you want is just

if params['skill2'].empty?

HTH,
