My old search file used to be named namesearch.php. It’s now named search.php. The query string parameters remain the same. I would like to redirect any namesearch request to search.php. Here is what I have below, which is not working.

    Query strings are automatically appended when the target URI doesn’t try to construct its own (i.e. it doesn’t have a ? in it). You can use either mod_rewrite or mod_alias:

    mod_alias:

    Redirect 301 /namesearch.php /search.php

    mod_rewrite:

    RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/?namesearch.php /search.php [L,R=301]
