you should really look into the search plugin: https://github.com/dereuromark/search

it provides you this functionality without you having to reinvent the wheel. it also uses "best practice" approaches like PRG and easily extendable search configuration for LIKE etc.

$search_keyword =   $value_you_get_from_search_field || '';  
$this->paginate = array(
    ....
    'conditions' => array(
         'YOURMODEL.field LIKE' => '%' . $search_keyword . '%', // this condition will check for search value to corresponding field you want
         .....
     )
);

$search_results = $this->paginate(); // search result will contain query for your search with pagination

To hold the value for the search field you have to set the field value to view like following:

$this->set(compact('search_results', 'search_keyword'));

And you have to design you search field like following:

$this->Form->input('fieldname', array('type' => ...., 'value' => $search_keyword, ....));

NOTICE In the input field I set the value property as $search_keyword, which has been sent from controller. Initially it is '';
