codeigniter routing uri with default_controller

Question

Hi everyone im new with codeigniter. my routes.php is

$route['default_controller'] = "Maincontroller";
$route['(:any)'] = "Maincontroller/user_index/$1";

i want to search people if they type in the URL = www.site.com/username but my problem is when going to other controller. should i route all my controllers?

$route['default_controller'] = "Maincontroller";
$route['somecontrollers'] = 'somecontrollers';
$route['(:any)'] = "Maincontroller/user_index/$1";

then how about my methods.

i tried this remap

public function _remap($method, $params = array())
{ 
    if (method_exists(__CLASS__, $method)) {
        $this->$method($params);
    } else {
        $this->user_index($method);
    }
}

but this only works properly in controller which is not default, and i get the result i want. but as i apply this in my default controller it doesnt work well.

CI routing has ordering.If you have other controller you should not use any routes.If You still need any you should write rules for others controllers.In that case a username cannot be like a controller name — Shaiful Islam

Hope this one help you!

$route['Maincontroller/(:any)'] = 'Maincontroller/user_index/$1';
$route['somecontrollers/(:any)'] = 'somecontrollers/user_index/$1'; 

$route['(:any)'] = "user_index/$1";
