Trying to remove parameter from url using .htaccess file

Question

I'm trying to remove any instance of ?s= from any url its placed into.

This is the current rewrite rule I'm using but it just throws a 500 error any idea why?

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^s=$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1 [L,R=302,QSD]

You might be on older Apache versions because flag QSD is only supported on newer Apache versions 2.4+. On older Apache versions this will cause 500 internal server error.

You can use this rule instead:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^s=$
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}? [L,R=302]

? in target URL will discard existing query string.
