Error - TypeError got an unexpected keyword argument 'name' in django

I am getting error-

search_user() got an unexpected keyword argument 'name'

my views.py (relevant part)- 

    elif 'search_user' in post:
                user = post['user']
                return redirect('search',user)

def search_user(request, user):
    u = user_profile.objects.filter(username = user).first()
    return render(request, 'wall/search_user_page.html', {'user': u, 'username': user})

my urls.py (relevant part)-

url(r'^search_user/(?P<name>\w+)/$', views.search_user, name = 'search'),

and my template - 

<input type="text" class="form-control" name="user"/>
                    <button type="submit" name="search_user" class="btn btn-primary btn-default" style="vertical-align: middle">
                        Search
                    </button>

Basically I am taking input , submitting it and searching it from my database but when I click on 'Search' button I get the error.

Help me with this please.

Thanks in advance.

If you use the named parameter in the url then the argument of the view should have the same name.

So change the url to:

url(r'^search_user/(?P<user>\w+)/$', views.search_user, name='search'),

Or change the signature of your view to:

def search_user(request, name):
   ...
