In addition to Walter's suggestion, I think, Fab, you are a little confused about the way that views and controllers work. The form that Walter suggests is shown in the layout and does not need to come from any particular controller. It is the action that is invoked when the user requests the search that goes to a controller. So you could just as easily put the search action in the articles controller just by changing the form action to articles/search and providing the appropriate route to a search action.
