While I am just calling the /blog/search method which looks like this

app.get('/blog/search', function(req, res) {

        res.render('blog_search.ejs', {
            title: 'Search Contact',
            });
                 });

My blog_search.ejs looks like this

<h1><%= title %></h1>
   <form method="post" action="/blog/search">
     <input type="text" name="title">
     <input type="submit" name="submit">

Please help me out with this error.I get this error while accessing it with the URL as well as the a href.

Answer 1

yeah actually search module was written under the ID fields so it was unable to perform anything.
