I was creating a Wiki in Code Igniter at one time. I used Routing and some.htaccess magic to send any request that didn't have a corresponding controller to the result method within my search controller. So, a URL like domain.com/code_igniter would be sent to my method as result('code_igniter').
Code:
<?php
class Search extends Controller {
function Search() {
parent::Controller();
}
function index() {
$this->load->library('validation');
// ----
// All your validation stuff would go here
// ----
if ($this->validation->run()) {
// I slugged the search term to remove spacing and special chars - whatever
redirect($this->input->post('q'));
} else {
$this->load->view('search');
}
}
function result($q) {
// Pull down my wiki page for the q variable (which is a slug of the search term)
}
}
?>
