I need to redirect any requests with query strings from a set of origin URLs back to a thank you page.

For example, I need to redirect:
http://example.com/test1/test2/[origin]/?id=1

back to
http://example.com/thank-you

The way I've got it set up in my .htaccess file is as such:

RewriteEngine On
RedirectMatch 302 ^/test1/test2/(.*)/.+ /thank-you

I've tested the regex I'm using in an online regex tester and it appears to work as expected, so I'm confused as to why the redirect isn't taking place. Here's the link to that.

Obviously, I had to add backslashes to escape the slashes in the URL in the regex tester, but based on my understanding of how .htaccess evaluates regex, these aren't necessary.

My question is: the redirect works perfectly from the page without the query string if I remove the .+ from the end of the regex string, meaning that the beginning part of the regex works fine. I don't understand why the query string isn't matching the regex I've created.

I have also tried:

RewriteCond %REQUEST_URI ^/test1/test2/(.*)/
RewriteCond %QUERY_STRING id=([0-9]+) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /thank-you [R=302,L]

First , no need to RewriteEngine On with mod_alias which is RedirectMatch at your rules use it with mod_rewrite , the second rules .

Try this :

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %QUERY_STRING ^id=([0-9]+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^test1/test2/[^/]+/$ /thank-you? [R=302,L]

I use ^id=([0-9]+)$ to restrict query string for a one that start with id and end with numerical value.

I remove this line RewriteCond %REQUEST_URI ^/test1/test2/(.*)/ becasue you could match against URI in RewriteRule as well.

If this rules wrok , change [R=302,L] to [R=301,L] to be permanent redirection.

Note: clear browser cache then test

For your RedirectMatch, you may use:

RedirectMatch 302 ^/test1/test2/(.*)/(.*)+ /thank-you?

For your RewriteRule section, you may use:

RewriteCond %REQUEST_URI ^/test1/test2/(.*)/
RewriteCond %QUERY_STRING id=([0-9]+) [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /thank-you [R=302,L,QSD]
