  1. You should specify the method of the form
    e.g.
    <form action="http://mysite.com/search/" method="post">

  2. use this to fetch the record
    $query = $this->input->post('query');
    $cat = $this->input->post('cat');

  3. In order to retrieve the type text in to the text field, use set_value
    e.g.
    <input name="query" value="<?php set_value('cat') ?>">
    <input name="cat" value="<?php set_value('query') ?>">

hope this helps!
