After search form submit there is no search parameter in URL

I have a search form like this:

<form action="@Url.Action("Search", "Items", null, null)" method="POST">
                    <input type="search" placeholder="Search" name="q" value="some search term">
                     <input type="hidden" name="city" value="london" />    
                </form>

This invoke "Search" action method:

public ActionResult Search(string city, string q)
        {
            ...
            return View(model);
        }

Here I receive both values and search gone fine. But URL in my browser is:

http://localhost/mysite/item/Search?city=london

as you can see I am missing "q" parameter in URL.
What have I done wrong here?

You can follow my example:

Model:

public class SearchModel{
  public String City { get; set; }
  public String Q { get; set; }
}

View:

@model SearchModel
@using (@Html.BeginForm("Search", "Items", FormMethod.Post, new {@id = "Form"})) {
   @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.City)
   @Html.HiddenFor(m => m.Q)
}

Controller:

[HttpGet]
public ActionResult Search(string city, string q)
{
  var model = new SearchModel {
       City = "london",
       Q = "some search term"
  };
  return View(model);
}

[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Search(SearchModel model)
{
  //.....
  return View(model);
}

Try to close the tag <input ... />

<input type="text" placeholder="Search" name="q" value="some search term" />

You form method is POST, so values are not sent via the query string. Change the POST to GET and you should see them.

Input type for your search field needs to be Text, not Search.
