Asp.net mvc 2 Search form in Partial View

Question

Hi could someone make a small example for me.

I wanna create a partial view with a textbox and a submit button. When the user hits the submit button, I want to redirect to the following url

/Search/SearchQuery/

UPDATE

//This is my searchBox.ascx

<% using (Html.BeginForm("Index", "Search", new { area = "eCommerce" }, FormMethod.Post, new { searchTerm = "searchTerm" })) %>
<% { %> 
<input name="searchTerm" type="search" results="5" placeholder="Product search" autofocus /> 
<input type="submit" value="Search"> 
<% } %> 

And here is my SearchController

public string Index(string searchTerm)
    {
        return "your search term was "+ searchTerm;
    }

And finally my MapRoute

 context.MapRoute(
            "Search",                                          
            "Search/{searchTerm}/",                          
            new { controller = "Search", action = "Index", searchTerm = UrlParameter.Optional } 
        );

Now its possible to use /Search/searcTerm/ but when I use my searchBox it just redirects /Search but my SearchController returns "your search term was test"

Look at

Html.BeginForm("SearchQuery", "Search")
{
}

Put your text field in between that statement. Put a button in there as well.

That's it, basically, plenty of examples around...
