Unable to use jquery in my mvc .net project

I've just started working with ASP.Net MVC4 project. I want to work with jQuery for click events in my project, but I am unable to get success even when I included jQuery in my layout.cshtml and Index(home) pages as follows,

Index(home):

 @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")

 $("#searchId").click(function () {
        alert("Serach was clicked.");
    });

Layout.cshtml:

<body>
    @Scripts.Render("~/bundles/jquery")

  <p><input type="button" value="search" id="searchId" /></p>
</body>

Can anybody help me please to get a solution?

First thing is, you are rendering Jquery bundle 2 times both in Index and Layout page.

As Layout.cshtml is a master page so you have to put Jquery bundle only in master page not in the child index page.

And in the child index page just use following code:

$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#searchId").click(function () {
    alert("Serach was clicked.");
   });
 });

or 

$( "#searchId" ).on( "click", function() {
  alert("Serach was clicked.");
});

Let me know if you still have the problem.

Your DOM might not be ready when you are registering the event handlers, try encapsulating the event handlers in document ready like this

 $(document).ready(function(){
    $("#searchId").click(function () {
        alert("Serach was clicked.");
    });
 });

Also I don't see the @RenderBody() method being called in your layout, that might give you an error too.
