I have a table called project. I want to make a search window to search  
particuler project details when I enter the project name. I have done  
followings.

create a project controller and insert

def search  
@project = Project.find\_by\_name(params[“x”])  
end

then create a view for the searching window as follows( inside project  
directory)

\<% form\_tag(:controller =\> “projcet” , :action =\> “search”) do %\>

\<%= text\_field\_tag “x” %\>  
\<%= submit\_tag %\>  
\<% end %\>

then I create a seacrh.html.rb inside the project directory and insert

\<% if @project.empty? %\>  
No project found  
\<% else %\>  
\<% @project.each do |project| %\>  
\<%= link\_to project.name, project\_url(project)%\>  
  
  
\<% end %\>  
\<% end %\>

then I click the seach button i’m gettin following error

Routing Error

No route matches “/projcet/search” with {:method=\>:post}

I WOULD MUCH APPRECIATE if any one can help me to solve this…

Shouldn’t the table name be plural, “projects” ?

projcet != project ?
