How can I implement a search feature in ASP.NET MVC?

To implement a search feature in ASP.NET MVC, you can start by creating a search form in your view.

What should the search form look like?

The search form can include a text input for the search query and a submit button. You can use HTML helpers like @Html.TextBoxFor.

How do I handle the search query in the controller?

In your controller, create an action method that accepts the search query as a parameter and then filters your data accordingly.

Can you give me an example of the controller code?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

public ActionResult Search(string query) {
    var results = db.Items.Where(i => i.Name.Contains(query)).ToList();
    return View(results);
}
