Title: Simple mod_rewrite issue

I am a little slow with this mod_rewrite stuff. I need basically something very simple:

If the url contains the string "brand=12345" (anywhere in the url), then send it to www.whatevercom/some/external/site

I've tried something like

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^brand=12345$ "http://www.google.com"

But this isn't working, I know I'm not doing this right but don't know how to fix it.

Thanks.
