There are three types of form methods GET,POST and REQUEST. Get method is not used more because it has a drawback. When the form is submit then all the fields data are displayed in url with the variable name and its value , hence every one can see the fields and it can be risky. There cant be any Privacy. Url has 255 length to hold the string so some time big string can create problems. We need to set form type as GET so the get method will be applicable when the form is submitted.
