Rails: Trying to add search function - keep getting “no route matches”

I'm trying to implement a simple search function for my Rails app by following this guide. I am trying to allow users to search for animal by name.

Here's my current code:

controllers/animals_controller.rb

class AnimalsController < ApplicationController
def search
@animal = Animal.search(params[:search])
end
end


Here's my views/animals/index.html.erb

<%= form_tag :controller => 'animals', :action => 'search', :method => 'get' do %>
<%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search], :id => 'search_field' %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
<% end %>


And here is the error I keep getting:

No route matches :action=>"search", :controller=>"animals",
:method=>"get"

I don't understand why this isn't working. I have the search function defined in the animal_controller.rb. Can anyone point out why the search function may not be working?

routes.rb

routes.rb

routes.rb

rake routes

Based on the guide you are following, creating a GET /search route was never mentioned. You can define the route in config/route.rb with this

GET /search

config/route.rb

resources :animals do
get :search
end


or

get search: "animals#search"
