Magento – Magento 2: 301 Redirects

You can try the following:

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteBase / 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php/admin
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^index.php/admin
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.b.co/$1 [R=301,L]

You can change admin if you use another path for your admin area.

It turns out the Redirect directive in an .htaccess file won't match against the query string, only the request uri (the part before the question mark). To match against the query string you'll need to use the RewriteCond and RewriteRule directives. More info on this here: https://simonecarletti.com/blog/2009/01/apache-query-string-redirects/

This should work in the .htaccess

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^main_page=product_info&products_id=331$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://gearx.local/catalogsearch/result?q=sku-331 [R=301,L]

If all the urls you need to redirect are in the same format with a numeric id then these two lines should take care of them all:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^main_page=product_info&products_id=([0-9]+)$
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ http://gearx.local/catalogsearch/result?q=sku-%1 [R=301,L]

I'd recommend redirecting to the actual url of the product though rather than a search results page.
