Rails 4 link_to No route matches

Question

I get the error No route matches {:action=>"index", :controller=>"search"}

When using

link_to "Next Page", {:controller => 'search', :action => 'index'}

My routes.rb contains 
resources :search, only: [:index]

The action works fine when I use

link_to "Next Page", '/search'

Rake routes result

If you run `rake routes`, it will show you all the routes defined in your app, could you try running that, and add the output to your question above, as that might help us debug your issue? — Alexander Kuzmin, Dec 31 '15 at 05:13
I tried link_to for debugging after kaminari `link_to_next_page` failed with same error. Kaminari `paginate @object` works fine. — vinoy, Dec 31 '15 at 05:32
Added shortened rake routes. Can't post the entire thing due to size constraint. — vinoy, Jan 02 '16 at 03:52

Its a spree app and the controller was inherited from Spree::BaseController. url_for only sees routes within the spree engine and not globals

Fixed the issue by adding main_app to url_for main_app.url_for(...)

Used this monkey patch for kaminari

Thanks for your time Alexander.
