NameError at / uninitialized constant SearchReservationController::Search - ruby-on-rails

Question

I am trying to make requests to a SOAP XML webservice/api by creating a simple index view and controller. The user inputs 2 simple pieces of information: a confirmation number and email address and he receives back a response from the webservice giving him information about his booking.
This all works in a single ruby file, outputting the correct information to the console. But I am having a lot of difficulty integrating it into a Rails 4 project. I am stuck with this error:
I put my original ruby file search_reservation.rb in Rails' lib folder, wrapped the class in a module (Search) and then changed application.rb to include this line: config.autoload_paths << Rails.root.join('lib')
Here's my full error trace from the terminal:

Answer 1

Try by changeing in SearchReservationController#index on line
search_reservation = Search::SearchReservation.new
with
search_reservation = SearchReservation.new
Or, may try wrap SearchReservation class in Search module.
class Search::SearchReservation
And yes... change this in /application.rb and restart the app,
config.autoload_paths << Rails.root.join('lib').to_s

Answer 2

The problem here is that rails tries to access the Search module in the controller's namespace.
Try forcing "main" namespace using :: like this
search_reservation = ::Search::SearchReservation.new
I'm also not sure about your autoload, try changing its format to
config.autoload_paths += %W(#{Rails.root}/lib)
