Answer 1

if you want to encrypt your input field. you must do in javascript/jquery AJAX before Sending the keyword to url result. let assume you have controller and route to make encryption like this :
localhost:8000/Akademik/encrypt
after that, you will get the keyword encrypted on var some_encrypted_keyword then send again via Ajax GET to url :
localhost:8000/Akademik/Mahasiswa?cari=some_encrypted_keyword
ask me anything. hope this is solve your problem

Are you sure it is actually what you need? For security considerations HTTPS protocol is used, which encrypts all the communication between client side and the server. If you simply want to hide raw data from your browser address bar, you might you POST method instead of GET.

You can encrypt your url parameter and decrypt it in your controller. You can try this:
In your view: Suppose your parameter is cari or more parameter you can encrypt.
<?php
$parameter =[
'cari' => (value of input field),
];
$parameter= Crypt::encrypt($parameter);
?>
a link
Your route will be:
Route::get('/url/{parameter}', 'YourController#methodName');
In your controller, You can decrypt your parameter:
public function methodName($cari){
$data = Crypt::decrypt($cari);
}
You must be use Crypt namespace in your top of controller as
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Crypt;
Note: You can encrypt url parameter with Crypt::encrypt($parameter) and decrypt with Crypt::decrypt($parameter)
