Why doesn't the button always work in Rails?

Question

Ruby on Rails

Hello, I did a basic search, but I can't figure out why the search button doesn't always work.

<%= form_tag users_path, :method => 'get' do %>
    <%= text_field_tag :search, params[:search] %>
    <%= submit_tag "Search" %>
<% end %>

def index
    @users = User.where(["name LIKE ?","%#{params[:search]}%"]) 
  end

When I open a page with a search field for the first time, the button works. But if you try to search again, it will not work., when you click, nothing happens. It feels like the form only works after you go to it from another page. Hard to explain to be honest

Read up on what Turbolinks are, turn them off, or use the jquery-turbolinks gem (but better off).
