There is nothing stopping you from doing search that way. CI uses segmented url's by default in which querystrings are just plain silly, so there is no need for them. You seem to be under the impression that without access to querystrings, the world will end tomorrow. I can assure you it will not.
The behaviour can easily be modified by a setting in the config:
Code:
$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;
Stop making such a fuzz about something that is not a problem.
