I'm new to cakephp, I have followed a tutorial to implement search box with autocomplete and all went well, the search box at the View/Pages/home.ctp works as expected, but I really need to put that search box at my View/Terms/index.ctp, and I can not find the way to make it work, here I paste all the code I've generated, I hope somebody can help me, and thanks in advance:
file: Controller/TermsController.php
<?php
App::uses('AppController', 'Controller');
class TermsController extends AppController {
public $helpers = array('Js'=>'Jquery', 'Form', 'Html');
public $components = array('Paginator', 'RequestHandler', 'Session');
public function getdata($id = null){
$this->Term->id = $id;
if(!$this->Term->exists()):
throw new NotFoundException("El terme no existeix");
endif;
$this->set('term', $this->Term->read(null, $id));
$this->layout = 'ajax';
}
public function autocomplete(){
$this->set('terms', $this->Term->find('all',
array('conditions' => array(
'Term.entry LIKE' => $this->request->query['term'].'%'),
'fields' => array('id', 'entry')
)
));
$this->layout = 'ajax';
}
public function index() {
$this->Term->recursive = 0;
$this->set('terms', $this->Paginator->paginate());
}
}
file: View/Pages/home.ctp (the one that works)
<?php $this->layout = 'default';?>
<?php echo $this->Form->create(null,array());
echo $this->Form->input('word', array('label' => 'Cerca entrada'));
$this->Form->end('Cerca'); ?>

var js = jQuery.noConflict();
(function($){
js(document).ready(function(){
js("#results").hide();
//Autocomplete
js( "#word" ).autocomplete({
source: "terms/autocomplete",
minLength: 3,
focus: function(event, ui){
js("#word").val(ui.item.Term.entry); return false;
},
select: function( event, ui ) {
js( "#word" ).val(ui.item.Term.entry);
var id = ui.item.Term.id;

file: View/Terms/index.ctp (here is where it doesn't work, I paste the entire file for you to have an idea of what I'm trying to achieve)

Solution:
For those who face this same problem, the second part of the great answer of @Salines is the one that make it work: echo $this->Form->input('word', array('id'=>'word','label' => 'Cerca entrada')); the first changes suggested are not necessary.
