Answer 1

1. You should specify the method of the form
   e.g.
   <form action="http://mysite.com/search/" method="post">

2. use this to fetch the record
   $query = $this->input->post('query');
$cat = $this->input->post('cat');

3. In order to retrieve the type text in to the text field, use set_value
   e.g.
   <input name="query" value="<?php set_value('cat') ?>">
<input name="cat" value="<?php set_value('query') ?>">

hope this helps!
