you just reminded me of post! in the absence of JS, and it should also be called for once and later on with pagination it'll be passed along!
Code:
if (!empty($_POST))
{
//set only the search term since the rest of the functions would be defaulted!
}
so far none of my applications required very professional search since the content of my site is already displayed with listing and filtring ..
pbrei i started to think you have something "personal" against CI LOL.. anyways different people uses different approaches .. if you think your way is the best .. prove it with facts not with "google doesn't pick it" .. why would i want google to pick my search if the sitemap gives google everything i want google to get!
