jquery getJson not passing any values to controller

Question

function invokeAction() {
        var searchText = $(\"#SearchTextBo

You will have to fix your route and replace {id} with {search} in order to get it to bind to the correct parameter - try something like this:

routes.MapRoute("search", "Home/Results/{search}", 
  new { controller = "Home", action = "Results" });

If you don't want to do that, you can do it like this by specifying the parametername as a standard querystring paramter

$.getJSON("/Home/Results?search=" + searchText,bindresults);

that will fix the binding.
