Re: Pages and Views

I think you're on the right track with your thinking.

1) You should route to your "users" controller, not the pages controller

Router::connect('/search', array('controller' => 'users', 'action' => 'search'));

2) You should explicitly set your search form url.

echo $form->create('User',array('url' => '/search'));

3) Then inside your "users" controller, you'll have a "search" method
that looks at $this->data['User']['search'] for the search string.

Make sense?
