Is it possible? i have a search and the result url is "mysite/find" but i want the url to be "mysite/find/value" (where value whatever i put inside the input box) what i have so far is :

Code:
$route['shop/find/(:any)']= "shop/find/$1";

inside my routes , my find() function inside controller

Code:
function find($findV)

 {

   $findV=$this->input->post('findSlug');

   $this->load->model('shopFront/find');

   $this->load->model('currency');

   $this->load->model('shopFront/calculate');

   $this->load->model('shop/proccess');

   $data = $this->commondatashop->general();

   $inputSlug = $this->input->post('findSlug');

   $data['tofind'] = $inputSlug;

   $data['cartInfo'] = $this->shopcart;

   $data['Currency'] = $this->currency;

   $data['Calculate'] = $this->calculate;

   $data['Proccess'] = $this->proccess;

   $data['title'] = "1.4.U Shop | Find";

   $finder = $this->find;

   $data['finderservice'] = $finder;

   $data['user_id'] = $this->session->userdata('user_id');

   $data['user_name'] = $this->session->userdata('user_name');

   $this->load->view('shop/top/topNew',$data);

   $this->load->view('shop/content/find',$data);

   //footer

   $curravailable = $this->calculate->getCurrencies();

   if ( $curravailable !== false )

   {

    $data['currencies'] = $curravailable;

   }

   else

   {

    $data['currencies'] = 'none';

   }

   $this->load->view('shop/footer',$data);

, the post part on the header , which is

Code:
&lt;?php echo form_open('shop/find/','find'); ?&gt;

    &lt;input type="submit" name="find" value="" /&gt;

    &lt;input type="text" name="findSlug" /&gt;

  &lt;?php echo form_close();  ?&gt;

this and finally the find.php which is the viewer. If i modify my viewer to search manually based on the 3rd segment then the search does happen , but i can't make the POST variable to go in the url

rather than using the form helper to create a form I'd use plain html and omit the action. That way your form would post as per the URI and would pick up $findV, without having to try and pass it as a hidden field

eg.

Code:
&lt;form method="post" accept-charset="utf-8"  /&gt;

hmm with the simple form the results are the same , if i try to put the variable here

Code:
$this->load->view('shop/content/find',$data);

like

Code:
$this->load->view('shop/content/find/'.$inputSlug,$data);

it doesn't work

Now you've lost me.
Are you saying that you have multiple views with different names that match whatever is being passed in through findSlug?
Seems a bit uncontrolled

No i have one controller , one viewer its just that the text i write if i post it and get the data works fine , but the url is /find/find?=(text_here) , what i want is make it /find/(text_here) and i tried doing it by sending the variable (findSlug) on the view loading part (the logic was that the viewer will load with the value next to it , in this case , find/(my_text) ) If i modify my viewer to search the variable that's in the 3rd url segment it works fine , but i can't pass this 3rd segment simply by loading the viewer with it , or redirecting to this viewer, or if there's a way to pass the post or get variable to the uri cleanly. I think the solution is to grab the enter key with jquery and automaticly redirect to my url/find/input_value and done with it.. i mean there is no way that i can pass data to the url? a $data['url'] ? $this->url->setsegment ?
