RedirectToAction not returning correct page

Question

I am making a post call from some javascript on a Razor page:

HTML

<input id="txt-search" type="search"/>
<input id="btn-search" type="submit" value="Go"/>

<script type="text/javascript" >
  (document).ready(function(){
    $('#btn-search').click(function(){
      $.post("../Home/Search", {filter: $('#txt-search').val()}, null, String)
    });
  });
</script>

Search(string filter) is successfully called with the expected parameter value:

C#

public void Search(string filter)
{
  List<SB_Detail> dets = db.SB_Details.ToList();
  if(filter != null)
  {
    dets = dets.Where(d=>d.SB_Model.ToUpper() == filter.ToUpper());
  }
  //This doesn't work
  RedirectToAction("SearchResults", "Home", new {details = dets});
}

//Never called?
public ActionResult SearchResults(List<SB_Detail> details)
{
  return View(details);
}

However it seems that the Index.cshtml page is displayed instead of the SearchResults.cshtml page as intended.

What is wrong?

As redirects are performed by the client, you c inspect with fiddler or IE developer toolbar what's really returned. Are yous ure your model passed via the two actions is properly encoded and decoded?

hi you use void please replace with actionresult.

C#

public ActionResult Search(string filter)
{
  List<sb_detail> dets = db.SB_Details.ToList();
  if(filter != null)
  {
    dets = dets.Where(d=>d.SB_Model.ToUpper() == filter.ToUpper());
  }
  //This doesn't work
  RedirectToAction("SearchResults", "Home", new {details = dets});
}

It doesn't make any difference: SearchResults() is not called.
