The action 'Search' cannot be found for InboxController - ruby

Question

I am trying to add a search bar. I have also set the path. But everytime I try to click on search it directs me to this error. What is the error in this code?
This is my Inbox_Controller file. It says that the action 'Search' cannot be found in InboxController.
class InboxController < ApplicationController
before_action :valid_membership
before_action :change_password_next_login
before_action :agreed_to_terms
before_action :allowed_send_mail?
layout 'inbox'
def bulk
puts params
ids = params[:bulk_ids]
if ids
params[:commit]
case params[:commit]
when 'Archive'
ids.each do |id|
message = Message.find(id)
message.archived = true
message.save()
end
when 'Restore'
ids.each do |id|
message = Message.find(id)
message.archived = false
message.save()
end
else
puts 'invalid action!!'
end
if params[:folder] != ''
redirect_to inbox_index_path(folder: params[:folder])
else
redirect_to inbox_index_path
end
else
flash[:alert] = t('errors.inbox.no_emails_selected')
redirect_to :back
end
end

This is my relevant index.erb.html file.

This is my relevant routes.rb file:
get 'inbox' => 'inbox#index', :as => 'inbox_index'

get 'inbox/reply' => 'inbox#reply', :as => 'inbox_reply'
get 'inbox/search' => 'inbox#search', :as => 'inbox_search'
post 'inbox/create' => 'inbox#create'
post 'inbox/bulk' => 'inbox#bulk'

There is no search method in this controller, the only search I see is a call to Inbox.search.
To debug this, start with the view where you actually do the "click". Is that click really supposed to trigger an action in your InboxController? If you think it should, why is there no action in that controller? If not, then the "click" was meant to go to another controller that actually would handle the search action, in which case you need to figure out why the "click" is trying to call a method in your InboxController rather than the desired controller. The problem could be something in your view or something in you routes, or you really should have that method in you InboxController, either way I suggest you try to figure out at least what should be happening and then post some more code stating what you think should be happening vs what is really happening.
