Pass Search Results from One Controller to Another
===

I've got an index page setup that has a sunspot search with faceting setup in the controller, model and view (Gears Model). 

I'm trying to place a search on the root page that searches similarly to the Gears index page but once the form is submitted is re-directed to the index page of the Gears Model. Right now the root page is a static page without a controller..How can I pass the search results and redirect the view?

My Code...

**Routes**

    Outdoor::Application.routes.draw do
    
      resources :gears do
        resources :calendars, :only => [:create, :destroy, :edit] 
        resources :comments, :only => [:create, :destroy] 
      end
      
      match '/gear',   to: "gears#index"
           
      root to: 'pages#home'
    end

**Controller**

    class GearsController < ApplicationController
      
      respond_to :html, :json
      
      def index
        @search = Gear.solr_search do
            fulltext params[:search]        
            facet (:category_name)
            facet (:sub_category_name)
            facet (:state)
            facet (:city)
            facet (:price)
            with(:price, params[:price]) if params[:price].present?
            with(:state, params[:state]) if params[:state].present?
            with(:city, params[:city]) if params[:city].present?
            with(:sub_category_name, params[:name]) if params[:name].present?
            with(:category_name, params[:categoryname]) if params[:categoryname].present?
            paginate(page: params[:page], :per_page => 15)
        end
        
        @gears = @search.results
      end 
    end

**Home Page View Form (I haven't changed it to use form helper yet)**

		 <form id="homesearch_form" >
                <fieldset>
                    <input type="text" name="homesearchbox" id="homesearch_textarea" onfocus="if(this.value=='Enter the location you’d like to rent gear')this.value='';" value="Enter the location you’d like to rent gear" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='Enter the location you’d like to rent gear'"/>
						<input type="submit" id="homesearch_submit" value="" />
                </fieldset>
                <fieldset id="rentaldate_home" class="form-inline"> 
                    <input type="text" name="rentaldate_home_from" id="rentaldate_home_from" onfocus="if(this.value=='From')this.value='';" value="From" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='From'" />
						<input type="text" name="rentaldate_home_to" id="rentaldate_home_to" onfocus="if(this.value=='To')this.value='';" value="To" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='To'" />
						
                </fieldset>
        </form>

Thanks for the help.
