Hi,

I'm trying to replace "searchword" with just "search" in the following URL:

https://example.com/search?searchword=CVE-2021-4014&Search=

I've tried the following RewriteCond/RewriteRule in various forms, but not sure what I'm doing wrong.

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^searchword=(.*)
RewriteRule ^   q=$1 [NC,L]

Ideas for what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Captured values via a RewriteCond are referenced with %1 and not $1.

Either way, I recommend using the rewrite log to see what is actually happening.
