So I am assuming your Account model has a screen_name attribute, correct?
Can you post here the params which your controller is receiving when you
post this form? I am assuming that there is probably some conflict in the
params where you might have something like params[:people][:screen_name]...
and of course metasearch is not going to find it.... you will need to make
the input params to be what meta search would expect.... and ideally make
your form based on the account model like:
@account = Account.new # just used for the search
form_for @account
f.text_field :screen_name
...
Otherwise you can do what I have done in the past which is to create a form
however you want and then marry the params to metasearch in the model. But I
would not recommend this until you understand what is going on.
