Answer 1

I think the problem are the missing placeholders. Without the placeholders your stated URL

http://www.mysite.pk/jobs/search/faisalabad/all-cats

won't match.

The correct route should look like this:

$route["jobs/pakistan/(:any)"]="vacancies/search";
$route["search/pakistan/(:any)"]="vacancies/search";

This way both jobs/pakistan and search/pakistan are working.

Edit

This RewriteRule will have the same effect when put in the .htaccess file.

RewriteRule ^jobs/search/(.*)?$ http://www.mysite.pk/jobs/pakistan/$1 [L,R=301]

Your .htaccess file then should look similar to this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /

    # Removes trailing slashes (prevents SEO duplicate content issues)
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.+)/$ $1 [L,R=301]

    ###

    RewriteRule ^jobs/search/(.*)?$ http://www.mysite.pk/jobs/pakistan/$1 [L,R=301]

    # Removes access to the system folder by users.
    # Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,
    # previously this would not have been possible.
    # 'system' can be replaced if you have renamed your system folder.
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

    # Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
    # such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
    # request to index.php
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

</IfModule>

<IfModule !mod_rewrite.c>

    # Without mod_rewrite, route 404's to the front controller
    ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

</IfModule>

The RewriteRule has following scheme:

RewriteRule [output] [original]

In this case when the "output" (url) starts with jobs/search/ (the ^ marks the beginning and $ the end) everything after this will be redirected to the original. The (.*) marks a reference for any content and will be inserted in the origin in place of $1. The [L,R=301] marks the type of the redirect (the HTTP response status code 301 means Moved Permanently), the L means that after the route is met, the following lines won't be processed.
