Passing info via URL using form_input?

I'm trying to call this 'search' method using form_input:

-- controller
function search($item_to_search, $page_to_display)
{
    //do this and that
}

-- view
<?php
    echo form_open("admin/admin_product_c/search/[words come here]/0"); <-- no clue what to do here..
    echo form_input('search_data', 'Type the words to search');
    //submit button here
?>

Is there a way to fill out and complete the form_open when clicking the submit button so that I can pass values via URL? I'd like to avoid using Session / POST in this case if possible because keeping things in one format really helps me out.

See my answer here:

How to make dynamic form action address in codeigniter?

There are two solutions you can choose from - with JavaScript or without, I think the second one fits you.
