I dont think you can do that with routes as it is used (to my knowledge) what happens AFTER index.php.
Use .htaccess and 301 redirect(with mod_rewrite) instead.

You need to enable query strings in your config.php file. It will be set to false, so set to true.

Having clean URL's will help your website rankings in the long term, so leaving the URL's as is just for the rankings is silly because it will end up hurting your rankings eventually compared to clean URL's.

I use this redirect

RewriteRule ^article.php?id=(.*)$ /article/index/$1 [L]

but not work
changing config file also don't work

My site have 10 000 uniques per day 90% of them are form google that articles are in first-five positions. I want to not change the urls because google will reindexing me 2-3 months and visits will be more more lower.

I try everything that i know and think will work. Please help me to hardcode that.

Yup i remove index.php with him

that is all my htaccess file

Code:
Options +FollowSymlinks -Indexes

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|robots\.txt|sitemap\.xml)

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

RewriteRule ^article.php?id=(.*)$ /article/index/$1 [NC,L]

I think it's need to edit routes.php file and i set this

Code:
$route['article.php?id=(:num)'] = "article/index/$1";

and in config.php i set this

Code:
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\-';

to this

Code:
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = '';

and STILL i get 404 page not found O_O

in log file i get this

Code:
DEBUG - 2010-02-21 03:31:12 --&gt; Config Class Initialized

DEBUG - 2010-02-21 03:31:12 --&gt; Hooks Class Initialized

ERROR - 2010-02-21 03:31:12 --&gt; 404 Page Not Found --&gt; id

Put the RewriteRule above your other RewriteRules.
