Yes you did. All form fields that the server knows about have a name attribute, and the Rails helper creates one. (View source in a browser to see the generated code.)

According to this, your field is named 'search', so you would change the parameter that the "if" depends on accordingly:

if(params[:search])
...

params[:q] would be set if the text_field_tag looked like this:

text_field_tag :q, params[:q]
