app.js

app.get('/results',showResult)
var express = require('express')
var n = req.query.query;
mysql_crawl.query('SELECT prod_name, full_price FROM `xxx` WHERE MATCH(data_index) AGAINST("'+n+'")', function(error, product_data) {
res.render('result.html', {result: n, related: product_data: product_data})
        });

result.html

<form action= '/results' class="input-group input-group-lg" id="search">
         <input type="text" class="input-group form-control"  name="query" value='<%= result %>'/>
               <span class="input-group-btn">
                     <button class="btn btn-secondary" type='button'>Search</button>
               </span>
</form>

When I search, I get a URL like example/results?query=keyword, but I want a results page at example/s/keyword.

Both pages should be the same results. If I change the keyword in the URL, it should show search results for that keyword.

So my question is, how do I create the example/s/keyword page to duplicate the results at example/results?query=keyword?

app.js

app.get('/results',showResult)
var express = require('express')
var n = req.query.query;
mysql_crawl.query('SELECT prod_name, full_price FROM `xxx` WHERE MATCH(data_index) AGAINST("'+n+'")', function(error, product_data) {
res.render('result.html', {result: n, related: product_data: product_data})
        });

result.html

<form action= '/results' class="input-group input-group-lg" id="search">
         <input type="text" class="input-group form-control"  name="query" value='<%= result %>'/>
               <span class="input-group-btn">
                     <button class="btn btn-secondary" type='button'>Search</button>
               </span>
</form>

When I search, I get a URL like example./results?query=keyword, but I want a results page at example./s/keyword.

Both pages should be the same results. If I change the keyword in the URL, it should show search results for that keyword.

So my question is, how do I create the example./s/keyword page to duplicate the results at example./results?query=keyword?

You can create new route as

app.get('/s/:keyword', function (req, res) {
    var n = req.params.keyword;
    // do rest of the task
};

Instead of repeating same code in two route, you can create a function then call the same function in both routes.

app.get('/s/price/:sea_query', function (req, res) {
    var n = req.params.sea_query;
};

I can use this to get data from url, thanks :)
