i got how extension : http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/routing.html#file-extensions

but, how search query inside?

that's not possible cakephp itself, when generating form doesn't know search term since doesn't exist yet, generating such url have done dynamically when submitting form, ie on user side, require javascript.

the easiest thing use server-side url rewriting.

here's example (should work fine in app/webroot/.htaccess), tests query string search key, , uses value redirect in case path of url matches /searches/results (both, path , query string treated case-insensitive):

rewritecond %{query_string} ^search=(.*)$ [nc] rewriterule ^searches/results$ /search/%1.html? [nc,r=302,l] 

this rewrite urls /searches/results?search=whatever /search/whatever.html.
