Pass user input as parameter to next view

I am trying to set up a website where users can search for a job by zip code/city/state etc. I am having difficulty passing the search value to a view (I have seen this question asked before, but only when the url is expecting a value from an object i.e job.id, but I am trying to get input from a user). Here is my code: urls.py:

path('search_results/<str:search_input>', job_views.search_results, name = 'search_results'),

views.py:

def search_results(request, search_input):
    return HttpResponse(search_input) # just trying to see if I have the search_input value

template (form is in index.html):

 <form action="{% url 'search_results' search_input %}" method="post">

Right now I get Reverse for 'search_results' with arguments '('',)' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: ['search_results\\/(?P<search_input>[^/]+)$']. Thanks for any help.

def search_results(request, search_input): 
    if request.method=='POST':
        return HttpResponse(search_input)

Pass search_input as string from template. 

<form action="{% url 'search_results' 'search_input' %}" method="post">
