Problem with if statement...

I have a form with a hidden field named fsearch

On the next page I use:

String search = (String) request.getParameter("fsearch");

The value if search coming through is "location".

Now I have this if but it never enters the loop...why?

if (search == "location")

{

out.println("<center>Choose a location:<P>");

// generate query

String Query = "SELECT DISTINCT city FROM resumeHolders ORDER BY city";

// get result

ResultSet SQLResult = SQLStatement.executeQuery(Query);

while(SQLResult.next())

{

//Name= SQLResult.getString("firstName");

City= SQLResult.getString("city");

out.println("<a href=\"view_resumes.jsp?city=" + City + "\">" + City + "</a>
");

}

// close connection

SQLResult.close();

SQLStatement.close();

Conn.close();

}
