Your data should actually be under params[:student][:searchfield],
as that is what you named the textfield (see the API docs). You
can also inspect the structure for more information:

  $stderr.puts "Params: #{params.inspect}  # Shows in webrick output


Now, generally, all Rails questions should go to:

  http://lists.rubyonrails.org/mailman/listinfo/rails

Post there if you have any follow-ups! :)
