There is two ways. Ether you do a post first and redirect from that.

Code:

form_open('controller/do_search');

And in the do_search method you:

Code:

$var = $this->input->post('keyword');
redirect('controller/search/' . $var);

And then you fix the redirect with javascript document.location.
That way it works with javascript off an on.

Or you could investigate some kind of .htaccess method and rewrite ?keyword=blabla to your controller/method.

Could I trouble you to expand a bit about the use of Javascript you refer to? I've been using the method you describe here and it seems to work fine. What would using Javascript add?

If the user presses the back-button after the search he would come to the result again. The javascript fixes that.

I would do something like:

Code:

$('my-seach-form').submit(
    function(event)
    {
        //makes sure the form doesn't post if users browser is slow.
        event.preventDefault();

        //your search keyword
        var keyword = $('#my-seach-input').attr('value');
        
        //where you want the browser to go
        var target = "http://example.com/controller/search/" + keyword;
        
        //send the browser to your target
        [removed].href = target;
    }
);

I have not tested this, but i should work.
See: http://api.jquery.com/submit/ for more info.

edit----
This form seems to remove some javascript. It should be "window . location . href" without the spaces.
