What happened with what you tried? It doesn't work? How? Have you checked your error logs? — Jon Lin, Feb 09 '15 at 07:26
have you referred this ? https://docs.joomla.org/Enabling_Search_Engine_Friendly_%28SEF%29_URLs — SagarPPanchal, Feb 09 '15 at 08:37
i referred that, but i want virtual subdomain like http://101-jessica-alba-202.sitename.com/ for this url http://sitename.com/index.php/search/door?slug=101-jessica-alba-202 — Dhaval, Feb 09 '15 at 09:09
"Does not work" can mean a million different things, without some investigation on your part, there's not much that can be done except random trial and error. I guess you don't get any error messages anywhere, either? — Jon Lin, Feb 09 '15 at 15:03

There are multiple steps that need to be done in order to accomplish what you want:

You will need to enable wildcard subdomains on your domain (this can be done via cPanel)
You will need to modify the appropriate router file to parse the first part of the URL (and not the last part).
You will need to add the appropriate entries in the .htaccess file.

So, it's just not only an .htaccess modification that will do what you want.
