'SearchForm' object has no attribute 'get'

Question

I'm trying to create SearchForm with DateField, but form don't see attribute 'get', when I send data method="post". Where is error?

forms.py

class SearchForm(forms.Form):

datee = forms.DateField(input_formats=['%Y-%m-%d'],
    widget=forms.widgets.DateInput(format="%Y-%m-%d"))

views.py

def index(request):
    search_form = search(request)
    context = {'search_form': search_form}
    return render(request, 'name/index.html', context)

def search(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SearchForm(data=request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            #Do something for examlpe
            HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("name:second"))
    else:
        form = SearchForm()
    search_form = form
    return search_form

index.html

<form method="post" action="{% url 'name:search' %}">
    {% csrf_token %}
    {{ search_form.as_p }}
    <button name="submit">Search</button>
</form>

But I'm getting this log and don't understand where is error:

Environment:

Django view should return httpresponse object. But your search view return form object instead. You can rewrite serch view to something like this to fix error:

def search(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = SearchForm(data=request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            #Do something for examlpe
            HttpResponseRedirect(reverse("name:second"))
    else:
        form = SearchForm()
    context = {} 
    context['search_form'] = form
    return render(request, 'name/index.html', context)
