A good way to do it without getting the view involved may be:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '/Controller/Search',
data: { queryString: searchVal },
success: function (data) {
alert("here" + data.d.toString());
}
});
This will try to POST to the URL:
"http://domain/Controller/Search (which is the correct URL for the action you want to use)"
