thanks for the quick reply but i found the answer while i was waiting on the
reply :)
In my way you do not have to use GET and the only thing you need to expose
to the URL is the term being searched for.
here is some code for anyone who may be needing this assistance.
Post search term to your controller via $this->data BUT then when you get
that information you take it and then REDIRECT to a search handler
controller. in my following example it will be defined as searchcomplete
//your regular search comes in
function index() {
$searchterm =
$this->data['nameofyourmodel']['nameofyourformfield']; //'
$this->redirect(array('action' => 'searchcomplete/' . $searchterm));
//This assumes you are posting to an action in the same controller
}
function searchcomplete($searchterm = null) { // have arguments to be able
to do some processing and filtering
// this is a VERY broken down version just the bare roots but you can take
it from here
$queryModel = $this->paginate('model', array('Model.field LIKE' => '%' .
$searchterm . '%'));
//then send to the view as normal etc etc and do whatever else you want and
paginator should be fine now.
}
