Redirect Query_string

Question

I am trying to do the redirect, but it is not working.

I want to redirect:

http://www.example.com/page/168?s

To:

http://www.example.com/page/168

Using

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=s$  
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1? [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^s$  
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1? [R=301,L]

You need QSA (Query string append):

Using RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^q=s$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.example.com/$1? [R=301,L,QSA]

Otherwise the the rewrite does not include the part after the questionmark.

Thank you for the answer. Didn't work. The log doesn't show any error but it doesn't redirect. The "s" after the questionmark was not excluded.
