this rule ignore ?q= characters. How should be htaccess rewrite rule for accept this special character?

Maybe you need to use [the B flag](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/en/rewrite/flags.html#flag_b)? (Only guessing, because problem description isn’t that clear.) — CBroe, Oct 13 '14 at 12:06

Looks like you just QSA flag here:

RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/([\w-]+)$ example.php?param1=$1&param2=$2 [L,QSA]

QSA (Query String Append) flag preserves existing query parameters while adding a new one.
