laravel 5 ajax error request - laravel

Question

Hi I was wondering why my Laravel 5 Ajax request doesnt work
<input type="hidden" class="_token" value="{{Session::token()}}" name="_token">
$.ajax({
url: "{{ route('groups.store') }}",
method: 'post',
data: {
name: 'name',
_token: $("input[name=_token]").val()
},
success: function(response) {
if (response.success == true) {
// remove error message
alert('success');
}
},
error: function(xhr) {
alert('error');
}
});
on the Route File I put:
Route::post('search/store', [
'uses' => 'SearchController#store',
'as' => 'groups.store'
]);
and on my controller I put:
public function store(Request $request)
{
return response()->json(['success' => true]);
}
then I keep getting error 404 while I simply wants to display the json result from my controller much help appreciated thx
btw heres the full routes.php
<?php
carbon()->setLocale('id');
Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
});
Route::post('search/SearchController','SearchController#postMapSearchResult');
Route::get('/getRequest', function(){
if(Request::ajax()){
return 'getRequest has loaded';
}
});
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
// Backend Area
Route::controller('login','Backend\LoginController');
Route::get('admin-cp' , function(){
return redirect('login');
});
if(request()->segment(1) == webarq()->backendUrl)
{
include __DIR__.'/backendRoutes.php';
}
//
// Frontend Area
Route::get('account/confirmation/{token}', 'Auth\AuthController#activateUser')->name('user.activate');
Route::controller('faq','FaqController');
Route::controller('blog','BlogController');
Route::controller('social','SocialController');
Route::controller('account','AccountController');
Route::controller('iklan','IklanController');
Route::controller('search','SearchController');
Route::controller('/','HomeController');
Route::post('search/store', [
'uses' => 'SearchController#store',
'as' => 'groups.store'
]);
});

Answer 1

Put the route outside of middleware group

Answer 2

Below is a code which work perfect for me.
var count = 100;
$('#ID').on("click", ".CLASS",function() {
var CSRF_TOKEN = $('meta[name="csrf-token"]').attr('content');
$.ajax({
url: 'URL',
type: 'POST',
data: {_token: CSRF_TOKEN,id:count},
dataType: 'html',
success: function (data) {
alert('success');
console.log(data);
},
error: function(XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
alert("Status: " + textStatus); alert("Error: " + errorThrown);
}
});
});
