+#### Encoded Forward Slashes
+
+By default, the Laravel routing component allows all characters except `/`. You must explicitly allow `/` to be part of your placeholder by specifying it with a `where` condition:
+
+    Route::get('search/{search}', function ($search) {
+        return $search;
+    })->where('search', '.*');
+
+Now when you submit a search with an encoded forward slash, it'll be decoded in the `$search` parameter.
