Redirect old search to new one and keep first param

I have a website that actually has this URL when someone search anything

/search?searchword=KEYWORD&searchphrase=all

and i would like to redirect it to the new ones:

/newsearch?q=KEYWORD

basically, preserve the KEYWORD param and rewrite the URL

I've tried RewriteRule ^search?searchword(.*)$ /newsearch?q=$1 [L,QSA] but it doesn't work, nothing happens.

Thanks.

Could you please try following, based on your shown samples only. You need to catch string after searchword= and before & into back reference(temp memory) to fetch it while doing rewriting url.

RewriteEngine ON
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/search\?searchword=([^&]*)&searchphrase=all[^\s&]*\s [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/newsearch [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /newsearch?q=%1 [NC,L]

When I check this with curl command if this is rewriting correctly or not and it looks fine there.

curl -IL "http://localhost:80/search?searchword=KEYWORD&searchphrase=all"
Server: Apache/2.4.46 (Win64) OpenSSL/1.1.1g PHP/7.4.11
Location: http://localhost/newsearch?q=KEYWORD
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

Your rule doesn't work because you are using RewriteRule directive to test querystring. You need to match against %{QUERY_STRING} or %{THE_REQUEST} as mentioned in the answer by @RavinderSingh13.

RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^searchword=([^&]+)&searchphrase=.+$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^search/?$ /newsearch?q=%1 [L,R]
