How to (.htaccess) rewrite the url of a specific search query?

Question

I wish to (.htaccess) rewrite the url of a search query when it has the "custom_title" parameter. Anyone can help me? I'd like to rewrite this url:

http://www.mysite.com/search.php?search_query=myquery&custom_title=mytitle

to this:

http://www.mysite.com/results/myquery/mytitle/

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^results/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ /search.php?search_query=$1&custom_title=$2 [L,NC,QSA]
