How can I pass text from a form in an html file to a url route in my python file using flask?

I'm building a website in python with flask.

How can I pass text from a form in an html file to a url route in my python file?

I have a search button that passes text to a python 'page' which queries a database and then render_templates an html file with the relevant object from my database (which works)...

      <form class="d-flex" action="/search" method="POST">
        <input id="search" name="search" class="form-control me-2" type="search" placeholder="Search" aria-label="Search">
        <button class="btn btn-outline-light" type="submit"><i class="fa-solid fa-magnifying-glass"></i></button>
      </form>

@pages.route('/search', methods=['POST'])
def search_page():
    search = request.form.get('search')
    search_url = search.replace(' ', '-').lower()

    query database with 'search_url' and get search_object...
    
    return render_template('search_object.html', search_object=search_object)

My issue is that I want my url to be whatever the search_url text is, and not static '/search'

So when I search 'example search text' I would go to a page with a url of 'example.com/example-search-text'

I know you can pass a variable with curly brackets / to the page.route /< > ...

So I guess I'm asking, how do I take the search text and link it to the search action in my html file?

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? [closed]

Where and how is this Laravel kernel constructor called? public fucntion __construct(Application $app, $Router $roouter) { } I have read the documentation and some online tutorial but I can find any clear explanation. I am learning Laravel and I am wondering where does this kernel constructor receives its arguments from. "POSTMOTERM" CLARIFICATION: Here is more clarity.I have checked the boostrap/app.php and it is only used for boostrapping the interfaces into the container class. What is not clear to me is where and how the Kernel class is instatiated and the arguments passed to the object calling the constructor.Something similar to; obj = new kernel(arg1,arg2) or, is the framework using some magic functions somewhere? Special gratitude to those who burn their eyeballs and brain cells on this trivia before it goes into a full blown menopause alias "MARKED AS DUPLICATE". To some of the itchy-finger keyboard warriors, a.k.a The mods,because I believe in th...
