URI disallowed characters + Lucence Search

[eluser]weetstraw[/eluser]
Hello,

I am using the Lucene search feature as explained on andrewrowland.com. When I type a search into the field, #quickresult returns the URI disallowed characters error. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Search Controller

Code:

function result()
{
    $data=array(
        'pageTitle' => '- Search Results',
        'headerImage' => 'search-results',
        'menu' => array('sector'),
        'boxes' => array('search'),
        'results' => array(),        
    );

    if ($this->input->post('search_query'))
    {
        $index = Zend_Search_Lucene::open($this->search_index);
        $data['results'] = $index->find($this->input->post('search_query'));
    }
    
    $this->load->view('search_view', $data);
}

In the View

Code:

<form method="post" action="<?php echo base_url(); ?>search/result">
    <p>
        &lt;input id="search_query" name="search_query" class="textbox" type="text" /&gt;
        &lt;input name="search" class="button" value="Go" type="submit" /&gt;
    </p>
&lt;/form&gt;
<div id="quickresults">
    <p>Type in the search box for quick results.</p>
</div>

Search JS

Code:

$(document).ready(function(){
    $("#search_query").bind("keyup", function(e){
        $.post("<?php echo base_url(); ?>search/menuResult", {search_query: $(e.target).val()},
            function(result_list){
                $("#quickresults > *:not(h3)").remove();
                $("#quickresults").append(result_list);
            });
    });

    $("#search_query").bind("focus", function(e){
        $("#quickresults").slideDown("fast");
    });

    $("#search_query").bind("blur", function(e){
        if (!$("#quickresults ul").length){
            $("#quickresults").slideUp("fast");
        }
    });
});

.htaccess

Code:

DirectoryIndex index.php

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|css|js|swf|xml|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

Is there a reason your javascript is posting to menuResult instead of result ?

Code:

$.post("<?php echo base_url(); ?>search/menuResult", {search_query: $(e.target).val()},

My error. There is no difference when corrected.

If you don't have firebug installed already, get it and install it. In the "net" tab you should be able to see these requests. What is the URL being submitted by the javascript?

Have a look at the actual request line in firebug that shows where the POST was sent (you can mouse over it or click on it to get the full url.) I suspect there is a query string.

[eluser]weetstraw[/eluser]
Got it! Stupid mistake...

in this line

Code:

$.post("<?php echo base_url(); ?>search/menuResult", {search_query: $(e.target).val()},

I was echoing out the base_url() BUT it's a JS file. This code used to be on a PHP page and I just copy/pasted it to a js file.

Thanks again!
