Nginx mapping with regex does not accept query string

I am trying to redirect some URLs which have query string. My problem is that Nginx regex ignores question mark in the URLs, so my regex fails matching if there is a question mark in middle of URLs.

something like this:

/product/list/mfr/%D9%86%D9%88%DA%A9%DB%8C%D8%A7-nokia?inc_subs=1&manufacturer_id=25&page=6

redirect to this URL:

/product/list/69_70_80/nokia-mobile

I tried:

map $uri $new_uri {

~^/(product/list/mfr)/   /product/list/69_70_80/nokia-mobile
}

it works but it's not accurate because I have other URLs that will match with this regex which I don't want.

I also tried this:

location ~/product/list/mfr/(\S+)page=6$ {
    return 301 https://www.example.com/product/list/69_70_80/nokia-mobile;
    }

regex101 says it matches, but when I try in browser it does not redirect. The only character that ruins it is the question mark. If I only delete the question mark, it works!!

It's been hell of a problem and headache, I really appreciate it if anybody can solve it

Also, I have to say the exact answer to my problem was another answer of yours in the comments of the link you shared : [this link](https://stackoverflow.com/a/49192527/12092482) @RichardSmith – mohammad amin Amiri May 19 '21 at 08:53
That other answer is certainly the preferred solution if you have more than one redirect to implement. – Richard Smith May 19 '21 at 10:12
@RichardSmith Yes that is one of the reasons – mohammad amin Amiri May 19 '21 at 13:35
