I'm looking to implement a search on my CakePHP App. I'd like to
implement the search using GET, so users can link to search results.
It also makes it a little easier to handle pagination. I wanted the
URL to be clean so I have the form set up without using the Cake
FormHelper:
<form method="get">
<p><label for="q">Search Query:</label> <input type="text" name="q"
id="q" value="<?php echo $keywords; ?>" /></p>
<p><?php echo $form->submit('Search Site'); ?></p>
</form>
Then, when a user performs a search, the URL changes to /search/?
q=keywords. Is using the $_GET array the wrong way to go about getting
the search keywords? I looked at the Bakery and I see that they
implement the search using POST. I was also thinking along the lines
of getting the search to look like: /search/keywords+go+here/ which is
obviously easy to handle within cake, but that will take a little bit
of processing after each search which again seems like I would be
doing the wrong thing.
I'd appreciate any opinions on the best way to implement this! Thanks
for reading!
