Sure, use .htaccess to turn your search variables into folders, but don’t get rid of them!

POST has a very specific functional meaning. it is intended for links that cause permanent actions (making a purchase, updating user data in db) and should not be “passed around” by users. most browsers will warn the user upon resubmitting a POST, for example.

if you use POST for things like performing a search, you are doing a disservice to your users who might want to pass around links to each other, to show each other search results pages.
