if, after a click on search button, in the url there is
www.sitename.com/research/sector1/word-that-you-search
how is possible to see in the url not sector1 but s1
www.sitename.com/research/s1/word-that-you-search
in the url should appear s1 but for to work at server browser
must to send always sector1; so think this is a different solution
respect at rewrite rule for a simple page
seem that isn't possible;
I tested:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^research/s1(/(.*))?$ /research/sector1/$1 [QSA,L]
I tested also with no initial slash
RewriteRule ^research/s1(/(.*))?$ research/sector1/$1 [QSA,L]
but not work
also tested (/.*) instead of (/(.*))
RewriteRule ^research/s1(/.*)?$ research/sector1/$1 [QSA,L]
