Hi Varun,

I think, either your question was unclear, or you missed the importance of the other thread. The only way a query string is seen is in a condition. To prevent looping, when returning a page you would like to still serve information from to a different (in this case static) URL you will need to use %{THE_REQUEST}. If you are only trying to redirect a URL with a query string, but will no longer need to access the page to server information, you still must use a condition, but can use %{QUERY_STRING} instead.

See the thread Jim highlighted for %{THE_REQUEST} or this one [webmasterworld.com] for %{QUERY_STRING}

Hi varunkrish,

The easiest way to search the forums, is to use a major Search Engine, and the key word(s) you would like to find with the site: command, like this:

keyword or phrase site:webmasterworld.com

EG
query_string site:webmasterworld.com

BTW Don't feel bad, most of the threads started have been answered at some point in time, with different specifics, finding and implementing the correct solution is not always as easy as it seems it should be though =).
