.htaccess mod_rewrite that include query strings

Question

I have some sample URLs I need rewritten:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^blue-spares-cycle-for-cancer-research$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^news/news-item/?$ http://www.blue-group.com/en/news/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^blue-spares-appoints-stuart-truckel-as-sales-director$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^news/news-item/?$ http://www.blue-group.com/en/news/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^project-manager-blue-machinery-london-ltd$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^about-us/careers/careers-item/$ http://www.blue-group.com/en/about/careers/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^000841:bakers-star-screen$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^used-machinery/en/screeners/used-machinery-item http://www.blue-group.com/en/used-machinery/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^000751:baler$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^used-machinery/en/other/used-machinery-item http://www.blue-group.com/en/used-machinery/ [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

My problem is I’ve got numerous similar URLs. Do I need to keep creating new RewriteCond for each one?

Also the results I’m getting are this for example:

http://www.blue-group.com/en/used-machinery/?000751:baler

If you are asking about consolidation (not just about QSA), then look into a RewriteMap. — mario

Quick google search turned up this:

Keep original query (default behavior)

RewriteRule ^page\.php$ /target.php [L]
# from http://example.com/page.php?foo=bar
# to   http://example.com/target.php?foo=bar

Discard original query (notice the ? after target)

RewriteRule ^page\.php$ /target.php? [L]
# from http://example.com/page.php?foo=bar
# to   http://example.com/target.php

Replace original query

RewriteRule ^page\.php$ /target.php?bar=baz [L]
# from http://example.com/page.php?foo=bar
# to   http://example.com/target.php?bar=baz

Append new query to original query (QSA is key here)

RewriteRule ^page\.php$ /target.php?bar=baz [QSA,L]
# from http://example.com/page.php?foo=bar
# to   http://example.com/target.php?foo=bar&bar=baz
