I have the following URL:
http://www.domain.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=product%20keyword%20remove
I would like to remove, "keyword" from this url using htaccess. This is what I have so far but is not working as expected:
RewriteRule ^search=(.*?)keyword(.*?)$ search=$1$2 [L,R=301,NC]
What am I doing wrong here? Also, how should the spaces "%20" be handled? Because at least one of the spaces needs to be removed as well.
There are multiple url that contain "keyword", however the words before and after this keyword might vary, so that's why I tried with (.*)
Thanks
Following rule should work for you:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \?(.*search=[^&]*)%20keyword(\S*)\sHTTP [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}?%1%2 [R=302,NE,L]
to match against a url with query strings, you can also use %{THE_REQUEST} variable.
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} search=(.*?)keyword(.*?) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /index.php?route=product/search&search=%1%2 [L,R]
%n is part of the regex capture group(s) in the RewriteCond

I need to redirect any requests with query strings from a set of origin URLs back to a thank you page.
For example, I need to redirect:
http://example.com/test1/test2/[origin]/?id=1
back to
http://example.com/thank-you
The way I've got it set up in my .htaccess file is as such:
RewriteEngine On
RedirectMatch 302 ^/test1/test2/(.*)/.+ /thank-you
I've tested the regex I'm using in an online regex tester and it appears to work as expected, so I'm confused as to why the redirect isn't taking place. Here's the link to that.
Obviously, I had to add backslashes to escape the slashes in the URL in the regex tester, but based on my understanding of how .htaccess evaluates regex, these aren't necessary.
My question is: the redirect works perfectly from the page without the query string if I remove the .+ from the end of the regex string, meaning that the beginning part of the regex works fine. I don't understand why the query string isn't matching the regex I've created.
I have also tried:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/test1/test2/(.*)/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([0-9]+) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /thank-you [R=302,L]
For your RedirectMatch, you may use:
RedirectMatch 302 ^/test1/test2/(.*)/(.*)+ /thank-you?
For your RewriteRule section, you may use:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/test1/test2/(.*)/
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} id=([0-9]+) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /thank-you [R=302,L,QSD]
First , no need to RewriteEngine On with mod_alias which is RedirectMatch at your rules use it with mod_rewrite , the second rules .
Try this :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^id=([0-9]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^test1/test2/[^\/]+/$ /thank-you? [R=302,L]
I use ^id=([0-9]+)$ to restrict query string for a one that start with id and end with numerical value.
I remove this line RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/test1/test2/(.*)/ becasue you could match against URI in RewriteRule as well.
If this rules wrok , change [R=302,L] to [R=301,L] to be permanent redirection.
Note: clear browser cache then test
I have hundreds of these old links I need to redirect.
Here is one example:
/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=433:seventh-character-code-categories-and-icd-10-cm&Itemid=101&showall=1
to
/seventh-character-code-categories-and-icd-10-cm
Essentially I need to remove the /index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=433: part.
I tried this but I am getting confused with the [0-9] and : parts, so the following does not work:
RewriteRule ^/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=[0-9]:(.*)$ /$1 [L,R=301]
Say you want to capture from after : to right before & in the query string you mentioned, then try this expression:
^[^\:]*\:([^\&]*)\&.*$
As #starkeen mentioned in comments, you got to check against the query string. This can be done using RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING}
So if index.php is in the root folder:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^\/index\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^[^\:]*\:([^\&]*)\&.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://example.com/%1 [R=301,L]
Here's another example. This one is for a sub folder:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^\/pages\/index\.php$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^[^\:]*\:([^\&]*)\&.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /pages/%1? [R=301,L]
Also, notice the ? at the end of the url /pages/%1?, this prevents from re-attaching the query string.
Another thing, captured groups will be set to variables %{number} since set in the RewriteCond.
BTW, depending on your server's configuration, you may need to add the NE flag, like [NE,L,R=301] Plus test whether it is necessary to double escape the literal characters.
what is about direct approach. Skip all till semicolon, mach string till & and replace all with first much
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} [^:]+:([\w-]+[^&]).*
RewriteRule .*$ \/%1? [R=301,L]
</IfModule>
So I'm trying to write a rule that will respond with a 404 if certain strings are passed to any of the php scripts. Here's with what I came up with:
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(string1|string2).*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ [R=404,L]
That rule appears to be matching only www.domain.com/?string1 or www.domain.com/?String2, but not www.domain.com/whatever.php?var=string1 or www.domain.com/directory/script.php?var=string1 or www.domain.com/directory/1/script.php?var=string1 and so on.
Can anyone help and point out what I am doing wrong?

Your RewriteRule is requiring an empty path. Try it like this:
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(string1|string2).*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
As Kevin says, you are requiring an empty URL before the query string, with ^$. You don't need all the .*, you don't have to match the full string. This will work, you don't need the RewriteBase either:
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (?:string1|string2) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [R=404,L]
The ?: just says don't capture this, it's only for grouping. The ^ is a way of matching anything. The - says don't change the URL.
I've tried the following
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^slides=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^/([a-zA-Z\-0-9_]+)/.*$ /$1/ [R=301,L]
for URLS like
http://example.com/whatever-in-here/?slides=asdf to be redirected to http://example.com/whatever-in-here/?
However it isn't working
To strip off query string you can add ? in target:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^slides=(.*)$
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}? [NE,R=301,L]
Also note you don't need to group and capture URI in RewriteRule as you can use %{REQUEST_URI}.
You should use
RewriteRule ^/([a-zA-Z\-0-9_\.\/]+\/\?).*$ /$1/
which will drop everything in the match following the ?. demo
Our original urls began with a parameter and the following rewrite works to redirect them (thanks to Jon Lin).
However, the original parameter is being appended to redirect, so that
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^old-page$
RewriteRule ^$ /newpage [R=301,L]
ends up going to mydomain.com/newpage?old-page
Any idea how to fix? thanks again,
Geoff
Have it like this to strip off existing query string:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^old-page$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /newpage? [R=301,L]
Take note of ? at the end of target URI, that is used to strip-off existing query string.
