You aren’t giving enough information for anyone to help. An undefined index generally means, there is not that specific name associated with the array you are using.

Also the search works fine for my other pages. Just not this one. It is basically the exact same code. That is why I am dumbfounded.

[dajaz27]

Just in case anyone runs into this problem. It is a singular plural issue.
[php]
here error code : $keyword = $this->request->data[‘benzs’][‘keyword’];

that should be
$keyword = $this->request->data[‘benz’][‘keyword’];
