Thank you very much for you reply. Though I have solved the problem by putting some javascript code in my ctp file and setting a variable in my controller. But this seems a bit unprofessional to me. Let me try to rephrase my problem:
I have an element search.ctp. I have included it ($this->element) in my default layout (so it will appear on every page). I have a search button (and there is a search action in my controller). Based on the search word (provided by the user input) I will have to search the database and fetch the matching result and then display the results in another view (not an element) result.ctp. If I use the redirect from my controller action then this will display the result.ctp within the search element (I don't want that). I want to render the new view altogether. Thank you.
