I have a website wich is based on a searchpage, which shows a list, and next is a detail page of the items. 

if visitors use `rootdomain.com/searchterm`, should be redirected to `rootdomain.com/index.php?keyword=searchterm`.

I had that working now for the details `rootdomain.com/detail/productname`, should be redirected to `rootdomain.com/detail.php?name=productname` 

and here I fail... 

I keep getting redirected to index.php with my $1 as 'detail/productname'

this is my `.htacces` so far:

```
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/detail/(.*)$  detail.php?name=$1 [L,QSA] -> L here doesn't work either. 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?keyword=$1 [L,QSA]

```

**Update**

Ok, so I am very close now

Problem was that the rewrite condition only is valid for the next rule so I have to repeat that apparantly, I also added ignore detail.php in the first condition, because my redirect on detail got redirected again to index. now for some reason my condition for -f doesn't seem to work on detail/ all my css and images are not working. what is best way to exclude them

```
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|detail\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)$  detail.php?name=$1 [L,QSA] 

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|detail\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?keyword=$1 [L,QSA]

```

**Update 2**

So I got it to work.. But I guess this is not the shortest way to do it. So if anyone is interested feel free to make this shorter.

```
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|detail\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^detail/(images|css|js)/(.*)$  $1/$2 [L,QSA] 

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|detail\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^detail/(.*)$  detail.php?name=$1 [L,QSA] 

RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|detail\.php|resources|robots\.txt|\.png)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?keyword=$1 [L,QSA]

```
