Your HTML will submit form data to web2py via the URL query string (due to using the GET method), but your controller code is not set up to properly process the form data. Instead, it defines a SQLFORM that does not exactly match the HTML form.
See http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators#Custom-forms and http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/07/forms-and-validators#SQLFORM-in-HTML for creating custom HTML in conjunction with SQLFORM.
