The simplest way is just to accept the incoming request, and pull out the variables you want in the Controller:

Route::get('search', ['as' => 'search', 'uses' => 'SearchController@search']);

and then in SearchController@search:

class SearchController extends BaseController {

    public function search()
    {
        $category = Input::get('category', 'default category');
        $term = Input::get('term', false);

        // do things with them...
    }
}

Usefully, you can set defaults in Input::get() in case nothing is passed to your Controller's action.

As joe_archer says, it's not necessary to put these terms into the URL, and it might be better as a POST (in which case you should update your call to Form::open() and also your search route in routes.php - Input::get() remains the same)

Alternatively  if you want to specify expected parameters in action signature  but pass them as arbitrary GET arguments  Use filters  for example   Create a route without parameters    Route  get   history     uses   gt  ExampleController history       Specify action with two parameters and attach the filter   class ExampleController extends BaseController       public function   construct  browser                 this- gt beforeFilter  filterDates   array               only    gt  array  history                          public function history  fromDate   toDate                                     Filter that translates GET into action s arguments    Route  filter  filterDates   function  route  Request  request         notSpecified              fromDate    request- gt get  fromDate    notSpecified        toDate    request- gt get  toDate    notSpecified         route- gt setParameter  fromDate    fromDate        route- gt setParameter  toDate    toDate

An alternative to msturdy s solution is using the request helper method available to you   This works in exactly the same way  without the need to import the Input namespace use Illuminate Support Facades Input at the top of your controller   For example   class SearchController extends BaseController        public function search                  category   request  category    default             term   request  term       no default defined

So you re trying to get the search term and category into the URL   I would advise against this as you ll have to deal with multi-word search terms etc  and could end up with all manner of unpleasantness with disallowed characters   I would suggest POSTing the data  sanitising it and then returning a results page   Laravel routing is not designed to accept GET requests from forms  it is designed to use URL segments as get parameters  and built around that idea
