ticket_path is expecting you to pass the ID of the ticket you are
looking for. Something like this:
ticket_path(123)
Run 'rake routes' to get a good idea of what each named route is
doing.
What you need is something like this:
# tickets_controller
def search
show
end
# routes.rb
map.resources :tickets, :collection => { :search => :post }
You can now GET or POST to /tickets/search or tickets_search_path.
