htaccess - problem with 'dots' in url variables

    I have a form that redirects users to a url depending on the word they enter in a form.

    1. A user enters 'banana' in the form and hits submit
    2. They're taken to domain.com/banana in their browser
    3. Which is rewritten to domain.com/index.php?s=banana by htacess

    The problem is when somebody enters a word with a dot, like 'banana.apple'. The user is redirected to domain.com/banana.apple and gets a 404.

    If I manually enter domain.com/index.php?s=banana.apple then everything works fine.

    How can I fix this?
