apache question mark RewriteRule question

Question

So i am trying to redirect from

index.php?action=search&query=search text goes here

to

search?query=search text goes here

i tried this so far but with no luck

RewriteRule ^search/? index.php?action=search&query=$1 [QSA,L]

EDIT : Solution was

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^query=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^search/? index.php?action=search&query=%1 [QSA,L]

and since i had some other RewriteRules in my htaccess i had to put them above them.

my other rewriterules were like this:

RewriteRule ^(\w+)/?$ index.php?action=$1

You mean the other way around? From `search...` to `index.php?...`? — , Jun 09 '11 at 11:54

Try this:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}  ^query=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^search/? index.php?action=search&query=%1 [QSA,L]

Are you able to get it working? Or you still having issues? If you still having issues please share your all rewrite rules. – Hameedullah Khan Jun 09 '11 at 15:17

You need to capture it into a capturing group.

RewriteRule ^search\?query=(.*)$ index.php?action=search&query=$1 [QSA,L]
