Sharing model between view and partial view

I have a little problem. I have a view (search + search results) that I would break into two parts, I decided to create a partial view with its own controller for the form search and leave the list of results in the view. I need to know if the view and partial view can share the same instance of the model associated with the view and if so, how can I do that?

When you render your partial, you can pass it the model:

 @Html.Partial("SearchPartial", Model)

And define both your Search view and Search partial view to use the same model type. For example:

 @model SearchModel

Note: In this case the partial controller will not be called. This is by design. If you already have a model and a view, that it doesn't make sense to invoke a controller. But this mean that your page controller will need to make sure to put everything into the Model that your partial will need.

Html.Partial has an overload where you can pass the model. To update your result have a look at Ajax.BeginForm... Try to paste some code of what you have so far for more detailed help
