Based on your previous question, it seems that you are trying to implement a search option at your nav bar. So you were missing this two properties in your view. name="SearchString" value="@ViewData["CurrentFilter"]".

How It works

When you submit the below form it will submit your user search input which has been set to SearchString as name property. So at your controller you will receive the value for string searchString which will filter your search result and return the new view

<form method="get" action="/Home/Index">     
  <td style="padding-right:760px">
  </td>
  <td>
    <input class="form-control" type="text" placeholder="Search for..." name="SearchString" value="@ViewData["CurrentFilter"]" aria-label="Search" aria-describedby="btnNavbarSearch" />
  </td>
  <td>
    <input type="submit" value="Search" class="btn btn-primary" />
  </td>
</form>

Controller

if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(searchString))
{
    members = members.Where(m => m.Name.Contains(searchString) || m.Gender.Contains(searchString));

    return View(members);
}

Note: Above submitted keys name="SearchString" will be passed there and return the new view with the matched search key value result.

Output
