Search string same how not working - asp.net-mvc-2

Question

I'm trying to perform a simple search and I cant find out what I have missed here
This is my ( I think very simple code)
public ActionResult WeeklyVorts(string sortOrder, string searchString, int page = 1 )
{
ViewData["corentSort"] = sortOrder;
ViewData["productSortParm"] = string.IsNullOrEmpty(sortOrder) ? "Product desc" : "";
var weeklyS = from c in _repository.List().OrderBy(x=>x.UParasha) select c;
if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(searchString))
{
weeklyS = weeklyS.Where(v => v.UHeadLine.ToUpper().Contains(searchString.ToUpper())
|| v.UParasha.ToUpper().Contains(searchString.ToUpper())
|| v.Uvort.ToUpper().Contains(searchString.ToUpper())
);
}
switch (sortOrder)
{
case "Product desc":
weeklyS = weeklyS.OrderByDescending(s => s.UHeadLine);
break;
default:
weeklyS = weeklyS.OrderBy(d => d.UParasha);
break;
}
ViewData["weeklyS"] = _repository.List().ToList();
int hlist = (_repository.List().Count());
ViewData["TotalPages"] = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)hlist / PageSize);
ViewData["CurrentPage"] = page;
return View(_repository.List().Skip((page - 1) * PageSize).Take(PageSize));
}
My View
<div class="search">
<% using (Html.BeginForm())
{ %>
<p>
Find: <%=Html.TextBox("SearchString", ViewData["currentFilter"] as string) %>
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</p>
<%} %>
</div>
//in a brackpoint I can c that the typed parameter is pass to
// if(!string.IsNullOrEmpty(searchString))
I know I have missed same thing in my view I just cand find out what
Thanks

Answer 1

It doesn't look like you are assigning the weeklyS variable into your ViewData["weeklyS"]
try this
ViewData["weeklyS"] = weeklyS;
instead of this
ViewData["weeklyS"] = _repository.List().ToList();

Answer 2

your code have some lines that I can not understand
why do you use _repository after searching should you use weeklyS variable?
try this
ViewData["weeklyS"] = weeklyS.ToList();
int hlist = weeklyS.Count();
ViewData["TotalPages"] = (int)Math.Ceiling((double)hlist / PageSize);
ViewData["CurrentPage"] = page;
return View(weeklyS.Skip((page - 1) * PageSize).Take(PageSize));
