Not quite true, you can send query via post to an action, process it
to form a clean url and redirect to it then in that url do the real
search.
Here's what I have in my controller and view:
> Partial APP/controllers/parts_controller.php:
>
> function index($keyword = null)
> {
> if (isset($this->params['url']['keyword']))
> $keyword = $this->params['url']['keyword'];
>

> %".$keyword."%",
> "part_number" => "LIKE %".$keyword."%",
> "part_nokia" => "LIKE %".$keyword."%"));
> $this->set('parts', $this->paginate('Part',
> $conditions));
>
> } else {
> $this->Part->recursive = 2;
> $this->set('parts', $this->paginate());
> }
> }
