You could set the text field in an HTML form that uses a GET action. Then use a rewrite rule in your .htaccess file that turns www.xyz.com/search.php?string=south%20dakota to www.xyz.com/south%20dakota.

You'll want to look at mod_rewrite to do that... then simply submit the form to that url.

EDIT: Linkie: URL Rewriting
