    Hi Christina

    In the view you can add something like this

    @{
    string searchTerm = Request.QueryString["query"];
}

    Then when you call the render action you can pass it in like this

    @{ Html.RenderAction("RenderSearchForm", "Search", new { searchTerm =  searchTerm }); }

    And in the action you can pick up the value in the constructor like this

    [HttpGet]
public ActionResult RenderSearchForm(string searchTerm)
{
    //code in here
}

    I hope that helps.

    Paul

    Although just having query in the Action should work without the rest of it.

    [HttpGet]
public ActionResult RenderSearchForm(string query)
{
    //code in here
}

    You're welcome.

    You could just add a simple form like this in the header.

    <form action="/search/" method="GET">
    <input type="text" placeholder="Search..." name="query">
    <button>Search</button>
</form>

    Kind regards

    Paul
