Mod Rewrite Help

[DEViANCE]

Hi,

I have managed to rewrite most of the urls on my site but having some problems with rewriteing the search results.

The rewrite code I have tried is:

RewriteRule ^search/(.*)/$ /index.php?q=$1&page=1
RewriteRule ^search/(.*)/([0-9]{1,3})/$ /index.php?q=$1&page=$2

The first line is working fine so if I go here it works well:

http://evilddl.com/search/adobe photoshop/

But the second line for pages is not working for example:

http://evilddl.com/search/adobe photoshop/2/

Does anybody know what I need to change to make this work??

Try this:

RewriteRule ^search/(.*)/$ /index.php?q=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^search/(.*)/([0-9]{1,3})/$ /index.php?q=$1&page=$2

ps, seo tips:
- replace all spaces in the search term with "+".
- instead of /search/ use /s/ - a shorter url.
