I want to know if it’s possible to create a GET form that has as action “search.php?what=bla bla” and in the url bar it shows “search/bla bla” . Then I can handle the search file and explode the search terms, but what is the rewrite rule?

You can’t create the form to generate the URL in the desired format, and it’s not of any use search engine wise.
However, when for example listing ‘recent searches’, you can list the URLs in the format
search/bla%20bla, and use the rewrite rule given by Patrick.Be very careful with your input validation BTW.
