Defined in:
app/helpers/blacklight/hash_as_hidden_fields_helper_behavior.rb

Overview

Rails Helper methods to take a hash and turn it to form <input type=“hidden”> fields, works with hash nested with other hashes and arrays, standard rails serialization style. Oddly while Hash#to_query will do this for a URL query parameters, there seems to be no built in way to do it to create hidden form fields instead.

Code taken from marklunds.com/articles/one/314

This is used to serialize a complete current query from current params to form fields used for sort and change per-page
