How do I set the path in my rails application? - ruby-on-rails

Question

How do I set the path?
I get the following error when I run my rails application:
No route matches {:action=>"search", :controller=>"inbox"} missing required keys: [:id]
I think this has to do with my routes.rb file.
I am working on a search bar and every time I search, it loops back to the main page since I do not have a path set.
This is my index.erb.html file.
<%= form_tag inbox_search_path, :method => 'get' do %>
<p>
<%= search_field_tag :Search, params[:search] %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
</p>
<% end %>
And this is my routes.rb file.
Rails.application.routes.draw do

Answer 1

Add this route to your routes.rb
get 'inbox/search' => 'inbox#search', :as => inbox_search

Answer 2

it looks like your route has a spelling error which could cause it to fail.
get 'inbox/search' => 'inbox#seaarch', :as => 'inbox_search'
^

Answer 3

So changing your form_tag to this:
<%= form_tag '/inbox/search', :method => 'get' do %>
<p>
<%= search_field_tag :Search, params[:search] %>
<%= submit_tag "Search", :name => nil %>
</p>
<% end %>
should fix your path helper problem. as to why you're getting that error it looks like inbox_search_path is expecting you to pass in an id so either you changed your route file, you need to bounce your server, or you need to paste the rest of your html file.
