Need to create a search page
This looks like it's a base viewmodel for any of the view models in your site.It also looks like maybe IPageViewModel<T> has a restriction to SitePageData which is likely your base page model with base properties. So you'll want change this class (DefaultPageViewModel<T>) from PageData to SitePageData
Then if you're createing a search page I'd expect the following
- SearchPage Model inheriting SitePageData
- SearchPageController passing in SitePageData in the Controller method
- SearchPageViewModel inhertiing DefaultPageViewModel<T> passing SearchPage as the T param
- SearchPage View passing in the SearchPageViewModel
This should all work. Just make sure you're interface and classes generic parameter type restrictions match.

Also as a point on design, your ViewModel should not be setting properties such as
CurrentPage = currentPage;
Section = ContentExtensions.GetSection(currentPage.ContentLink);
The viewmodel should be kept clean, those properties should be setup by the controller or ideally a factory/service for your ViewModel generation.

Search & Navigation (Formally Find) is just a search platform based on elastic that indexes pages, blocks, media and any IContent. The .NET API is just a code API and can be called anywhere you like. This could be a search page if you're creating a search page or it could be in a header for a quick search, a block or anywhere really where you're searching/surfacing large groups of content.
