Good time! There was a problem displaying the route in the input URL browser. To the search page on the site. The search itself is working fine - the "key" is passed, the list of found displayed. Search method in the controller takes an argument of type string for which to search:

C#

public ActionResult SearchAllByKey(string key)

            {

                //logic

                return View(<list_of_found>);

            }

In Global.asax prescribed route:

C#

routes.MapRoute(

                      "Search",

                      "Search/{key}",

                      new { controller = "controller_name", action = "SearchAllByKey", key = UrlParameter.Optional }

                  );

Form which sends the value of Edit to method from View:

C#

<% using (Html.BeginForm("SearchAllByKey", "controller_name", FormMethod.Post, new { enctype = "multipart/form-data" }))

                               {%>

                            <%: Html.ValidationSummary(true) %>

                            <input type="text" id="keyValue" name="key" />

                            <input type="submit" value="Go!" />

                            <% } %>

When you click on "Go!". to a page of search results, but the URL (input line browser) shows:

http://localhost:PORT/Search

instead of:

http://localhost:PORT/Search/SOME_KEY

How to make sure that was visible "key" in the URL-e? Thanks in advance

If the FormMethod.Post and before the method put [HttpGet], the URL looks:

localhost:PORT/Search?key=nature

but should be:

localhost:PORT/Search/nature

Solution:

In View:
<pre lang="c#"><% using (Html.BeginForm("Search", "Home", FormMethod.Post))
{%>
    <% Html.ValidationSummary(true); %>
    <input type="text" id="key" name="key" value="" />
    <input type="submit" value="Go!" />
<% } %>

Add method to controller:

C#

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Search(FormCollection form)
{
    return RedirectToAction("SearchAllByKey",  new { key = form["key"] });
}

Thanks LeftyX.
