Understanding CI URL Structure

[eluser]bubbafoley[/eluser]
The default controller is only used when no url segments are passed. Even when you remove index.php with an htaccess file you still have to pass the url like example.com/controller/method/arg1/arg2/etc.

If your htaccess file is set right you should be able to access that function via example.com/application/search.

To just get example.com/search working you'll need to set a route in application/config/routes.php:

Code:

$route['search'] = 'application/search';
