You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array

I am writing as below 

def search

   cuisine=Settings.allcuisines

 begin 
 @orgs = getSearch(params[:lat], params[:lon],params[:zip], params[:dist],   cuisine,params[:num_results])
  respond_to do |format|
    format.html {render action: "index"}
    format.json { render json: @orgs }
  end
    messg="success"
    code="0"
    results={:message=>messg,:code=>code}
    resul=Results.new(results)
     resul.save
  rescue Exception => exc
   messg=exc.message
   code="1"
   results={:message=>messg,:code=>code}
   resul=Results.new(results)
     resul.save
   respond_to do |format|
    format.html {render action: "index"}
    format.json { render json: @orgs }
   end

end

I am getting error:

You have a nil object when you didn't expect it! You might have expected an instance of Array. The error occurred while evaluating nil.each

Why is this happening?

You are probably calling @orgs.each in your view and @orgs is nil. You can try just nesting your iterator in an:

- unless @orgs.nil?
  - @orgs.each do |o|
    blah
