Htaccess redirect url with raw php url containing variables

Question

I'm currently using a CMS that rewrites all URLs and currently I have a URL like this:

http://www.domain.com/folder/?user=user1

I'm looking to have that rewrite to: index.php?r=search&term=$1

Would something like this work?

RewriteRule ^/?user=(.*) index.php?r=search&term=$1 [L]

Seems to be giving me trouble. Any suggestions?

The query string is not part of the URI-path test it in the rule. It is at QUERY_STRING variable.

You may try this:

Options +FollowSymlinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} user=([^/]+)/?  [NC]
RewriteRule ^folder/?  /index.php?r=search&term=%1  [L,NC]

What is this [^/]? Do you mean [^&]?

@Olaf Good question. I had my doubts about that too, but assume the query string is just as described and eventually could end with a slash, like http://www.domain.com/folder/?user=user1/. That might happen if it is manually entered. Could have used & in case there are more key-value pairs, as you say. Doesn't seem there are, though.

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteRule ^folder1/?user=(.*)$ index.php?r=search&term=$1 [R=301,L]
