Since the controller will be created and destroyed with each web request, you can't store data in private variables across web requests, which is a good thing because, different users will be making different requests, so you need to use caching.

Try this:

  public class HomeController : BaseController
  {

      public ActionResult Index(int query)
      {
          ControllerContext.HttpContext.Session["query"] = query;
      }

      public ActionResult Result()
      {
          int query = (int)ControllerContext.HttpContext.Session["query"];
      }
  }
