I understand that CI is mostly URL segment based, but I want to have a query string: blahblah.com/search.html?q=keyword
When I try $this->input->get( “q” ), it returns empty. Is there a route or something I need to configure?

The best way to get query strings working in CodeIgniter is to use Google. This question is asked (and answered) on the forums, here and on twitter at least 10 times a day.
There are a few methods, but recently I am a fan of the following method:

I prefer this over others as it will have no application-wide effects like some other approaches and it won’t require any crazy hacking to get it working.
If you want this $_GET support throughout the entire app, just put the parse_str into MY_Controller or a pre_controller hook.
