check View method's overloads http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd460310(v=vs.98).aspx

Create views for all cases and pass viewName as parameter to View("viewName", yourObject)

I don't know what or how is your methods but I hope it will help you..

Your url like this http://mydomain.com/Message?userName=John

    private DatabaseEntities db = new DatabaseEntities();

    public ActionResult Index(String userName)
    {
        IEnumerable<Message> messages = db.Messages;
        if (!String.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(userName))
        {
            messages = messages.Where(x => x.UserName == userName);
        }
        return View(messages);
    }

But don't forget to use ViewModel..
