params="[searchboxval:"${searchbox}"]"

will not pull the value from the form field - GString expressions like ${searchbox} are evaluated on the server side while rendering the form, not on the browser after the form has been filled in.

You need to use a proper form rather than a link, more like:

<g:form action="profileSearch" id="searchlnk1">
  <label class="col-md-2">Profile Name :</label>
  <g:textField type="text" name="searchboxval"  class="form-control" />
  <g:submitButton value="search"/>
</g:form>
