Laravel 4 restful controller GET parameter

Question

In order to add parameter to a GET method, I know that I have to add {parameter} in the route like the following

Route::get('example/search/{id}', 'ExampleController@exampleMethod')

However, is there a way to do this using the RESTful controller like the following?

routes.php

Route::controller('example', 'ExampleController')

ExampleController.php

public function getSearch($id){
    //do something with $id
}

The above doesn't work because the routes.php doesn't expect a parameter to getSearch method. I wonder if there is a way to solve this without having to add individual Route::get routes.

<?php

// ExampleController.php

class ExampleController extends BaseController {
    public function getSearch($id = null){
        if ($id == null) {
            return 'no id';
        }
        return $id;
    }
}

// routes.php

Route::controller('example', 'ExampleController');

?>

php artisan routes:

Great. But what about same situation with the "index" method in Laravel 4? Even if you define it as public function getIndex($id = null), requesting URL domain.tld/example/1 throws Controller method not found error. You have to define a seperate route for that, like Route::get('example/{id}', ['uses' => 'ExampleController@getIndex'])->where('id', '[0-9]+');. NOTE: this route decralation should take place BEFORE your Route::controller declaration to work.

@vitalikaz Index has a very specific use. It is supposed to be the index page in your application. Therefore it is not supposed to take parameters by design as far as I understand so what you are doing is overriding the desired default behavior.
