need help with mod rewrite (willing to pay for assistance)

Hello,

I am willing to pay $5.00 if necessary (paypal)

I have links like this on my site:

its a search so where it says &q=yahoo thats cuz i searched yahoo so that would change depending on what was searched

http://joeyelectric.com/search/sear...f5um_o&cof=FORID:9&ie=UTF-8&q=yahoo&sa=Search

I want them to look like this:

I want to make the the url just show the query that was searched but still access the url above ... is this possible?

http://joeyelectric.com/search/yahoo


this is the closest
i could get:

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule search/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/$ /search/search.php?$1=$2&$3=$4&$5=$6&$7=$8&$9=$10

Code (markup):

which makes a url like this:

http://joeyelectric.com/search/cx/008406457722762222407:zeakjf5um_o/cof/FORID:9/ie/UTF-8/q/yahoo/sa/Search/

Code (markup):

What i had searched was "yahoo" <- which is $8

I want the url to just have $8

You should be able to use something like:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^search/(.+)$ /search/search.php?cx=008406457722762222407:zeakjf5um_o&cof=FORID:9&q=$1 [L]

Code (markup):

 

thanks but someone already sent me the code
