Questionmark in url

I'm trying to use this http://api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#option-source with Laravel and so I need to send a GET request to a url which ends with "?term=foo". I've tried to escape the "?" with a backslash, which doesn't work. To clarify, this is what I want:

Route::get('search\?term=(:any)', function()
{
      //do something
}

Is it possible to have questionmarks in the url with Laravel?

Just for others who may want a Clear Answer :

you have to write and use your code as follows:

Route::get('search', function()
{
      $term = Input::get('term');
      if(isset($term)){
         //do other stuff ! 
      }
}

Having a question mark in the URL should make no difference. You're using a PHP framework, and simply speaking, ...?term=parameters should not be problematic. To my knowledge, there should be no need to escape such a question mark... It is handled appropriately by default.

I believe the slug function is what you are looking for: http://laravel.com/api/class-Laravel.Str.html

From the API Doc:

slug( string $title, string $separator = '-' )

Generate a URL friendly "slug" from a given string.
