You could try RedirectToAction if you are doing some processing in the first controller and then sending the result to another controller.

View

using(@Html.BeginForm("firstaction", "search", FormMethod.Post)){

   // form stuff
}

Controller

public class SearchController
{

      [HttpPost]
      public ActionResult FirstAction()
      {
          // do initial processing in the first controller
          // e.g persisting changed on Edit Screen

          return RedirectToAction("SecondAction","Details");

      }
}

public class DetailsController
{
     public ActionResult SecondAction()
      {
          // do remaining processing in the first controller
          // fetching data for a grid and displaying the grid of items

          return View();
      }
}
