A short "RewriteRule" regexp question

Question

I have a very very long querystring which ALWAYS starts like this:

  mydomain.com/bincgi/sql_query.php?alot alot alot of variables passed along

What is the regular expression to make a rewriteRule if I want to pass along all the variables but via this link:

  mydomain.com/search/all variables here instead.....

So the last one is what I intend to write as a link, but the "REAL" link is the first one...

Simplified put, I need to replace the /bincgi/sql_query.php with /search/

Hope you understand what I am looking for...

Thanks

Answer 1

This should work:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?search/?$ bincgi/sql_query.php [QSA,L]

The QSA (query string append) will handle the query string for you, no need to mess with it manually.
