Having Issue when submitting form to plugin controller action

Hi Guys,

I am a 3+ years old in cakephp and facing a somewhat strange issue
with submitting a form to plugin controller's action (i am using
plugin first time). After trying different known things i am posting
this one.

Going straight into the matter here is the form in my "forum" plugin's
-> search_controller.php's -> index view:

<?php echo $form->create("Search", array('url'=>array('controller' =>
'search', 'action' => 'index','plugin'=>'forum'),
'id'=>'searchFormMain')); ?>
<img src="/img/rfdf_logo_blue_search.jpg" width="383" height="45" /
><br><input type="text" name="data[Search][keyword]" style="width:
357px; margin-left:9px;"><p><span id="searchButton"><input
type="image" src="/img/button_search.jpg" style="height:40px;width:
136px;border:0;" class="handcursor"></span></p>
</form>

As i am submitting this form to "index" action of search controller of
forum plugin, the following code does print nothing:

public function index($type='') {

if(!empty($this->data)) {
pr($this->data);
die;
}
}

While if i try the same code within beforeFilter of the same
controller i.e. search_controller.php it works well and prints as
follows:

Array
(
[Search] => Array
(
[keyword] => Hello Forum
)

)

And finally here is the beforeFilter code (of search_controller.php):

public function beforeFilter() {

parent::beforeFilter();
if(!empty($this->data)) {
pr($this->data);
}
}

Fyi, it does not matter if i comment out "parent::beforeFilter();" or
event disable $uses of my controller (if they look doubtful to you)
the result is same i.e. the control is not going in to "index" action
in the case of form submit while is working fine in the case of page
call. The url/action to page is http://localhost.rfdf.org/forum/search/index.
If i call the url directly is loads the form fine but when i submit it
never get into the "index" action of the controller thus no view
rendered.

I have been trying to find a way out of this for last 3+ hours now but
no success. I would appreciate any help in solving this puzzle.

Thanks,

Arvind.
