So I am working on a little script & I am doing some mod_rewrite and I need some help RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /index.php$ RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^search=([A-Za-z0-9\+]+)$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /search/1/%1\.html [R=301,L] RewriteRule ^search/([^/]*)/([^/]*)\.html$ /index.php?page=$1&search=$2 [L] I have that but when I search it does http://www.MYDOMAIN.com/search/1/MYS...earch=MYSEARCH how do I remove the ?search=MYSEARCH

Hi, Just try changing the rewrite rule RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /search/1/%1\.html [R=301,L] Specify the file or location istead of ^(.*)$

This seems troublesome to me... 1. Do you really want to match everything that ends with '/index.php' (that would include '/index.php', '/foo/index.php', '/bar/index.php'...) 2. If I'm not mistaken the URI will also include the query string, so this condition only matches if there is not one and the next condition only matches if there is one! Maybe I'm wrong about this, if you are getting matches, however. Either way, I agree with angathon, instead of using rewrite conditions to look at parts of the URI, just use a specific regex in your rewrite rule:
