Status of GET and querystrings in CodeIgniter?

But do you understand that many times you *have* to use GET because, since GET is a proper HTTP method, *other* people use it? GET is the correct method to use for reads, searches, etc. How these forums do search, for example, is lousy. It should be like every other site on the web: http://www.ellislab.com/forums/search?q=get+querystring
