.htaccess - remove query string

Question

Currently visitors see my website in this way: example.com/index.php?s=anyword+to+search

I would like to change to example.com/anyword+to+search

My current .htaccess:

Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks    
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} !/artist/ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ artist/$1 [L,R]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 

<IfModule mod_php5.c>  
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]    
</IfModule>    

# the following is for rewritting under FastCGI
<IfModule !mod_php5.c>    
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Does anyone know how?

Unlike forum sites, we don't use "Thanks", or "Any help appreciated", or signatures on Stack Overflow. See "Should 'Hi', 'thanks,' taglines, and salutations be removed from posts?. BTW, it's "Thanks in advance", not "Thanks in advanced". — John Saunders

Try this rule to redirect query string to short url :

Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks    
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
#http to https   
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

#Query string to short url
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/index\.php\?s=([^&\s]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1? [R,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ index.php?s=$1 [QSA,B,NC,L]

Try something like this:

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

Sorry, but where should I add it? I tried it adding right after the SSL redirection, but didn't work.

Try removing the mod_php5 blocks and placing that line instead.

I think your artist rules are interfering as well. Try removing them also.
