Change made URL to own URL

I want to change the search URL my website makes after a search in my search box. The URL it now shows is: search.php?name=i&submit=

I was looking on an .htaccess page and made this:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule /search.php?name=i&submit= /?s=i

But the URL still is the same. Anybody knows how to do this?

The URL data comes out of this:

if(isset($_GET['submit'])) {
   $string = $_GET['name'];
   $sql = "SELECT * FROM user_name WHERE first_name LIKE '%{$string}%'";
}

Thanks.

You have to capture your GET parameters explicitly:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} name=([0-9a-z]+)&(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) /$1?s=%1 [R=301,L]
