Answer 1

your Route:

Route::get('category/(:any)/(:any)', array( 'uses' => 'Articles@show'));

now in your route get the category id by the name, and get the article id by the title(ofcourse you need to make sure that the title is uniqe when creating)

if you want to make search is the same.. get the category id by the name and get the search string from title (make some function to replace '-' by space)

public function Show($category_id,$article_title){

}
