I did that tutorial months ago. I have been able to build inbox
messaging from scratch, which was a challenging task with all the
features a inbox must have especially considering I have no prior coding
experience. I am 90% complete with my app, with the rest being small
fixes such as this basic search form, having users select photo from
gallery as their default profile picture, add user to favorites, and
then the rest is javascript. Directing me to read a tutorial does not
help me in this case. I have been stuck on this trying to figure it out.
Had other people take a look and they too can not spot the problem.

The error is coming from "@search = Search.find(params[:search])" in the
searches controller for def index. I have tried different strings to see
if I can get around it. None have work. One solution I thought would be
best that just failed was moving the def index to the users controller
and combining it with the " @users = User.all" that is already there.
But that did not do anything either.
