Laravel 4.2 - Route not working for searchbar

I have created a Form in a blade template. This form sends a POST request to search.postQuery, so I can get the search query and then do something with it and return a View.

This is the route I have defined:

Route::post('/search/{query}', ['as' => 'search.postQuery', 'uses' => 'SearchController@postQuery'])->where('query', '[a-zA-Z0-9]+');

My form looks like this:

{{ Form::open(array('method' => 'POST', 'route' => array('search.postQuery')) }}
{{ Form::text('searchQuery') }}
{{ Form::submit('Zoeken!') }}
{{ Form::close() }}

This is the method the route calls on POST:

 public function postQuery($query)
 {
        var_dump("Landed here");
 }

And finally, the error Laravel poses me with is a NotFoundHttpException. I also discovered that Laravel is constructing a rather strange URL when I press submit: http://homestead.app/search/%7Bquery%7D

What am I doing wrong? As to my knowledge, I'm not doing something very strange?

This is your error

  {{ Form::open(array('route'=>'search.postQuery','method' => 'POST')) }}
  {{ Form::text('searchQuery') }}
  {{ Form::submit('Zoeken!') }}
  {{ Form::close() }}
