listbox

I have a search page on my MVC site that contains a list of strings that I think the user might wish to search for in my database. This list of strings is available in my model class, so I can populate an Html.ListBox with those strings thus:

<%=Html.ListBox("SearchStrings", new SelectList(Model.SearchStrings)) %>

My problem is, how can I tell which strings the user selected in that list in my postback action?

Any help would be most appreciated.
