Answer 1

Have it this way in your root .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+index\.php\?q=([^\s&]+)&start=([^\s&]+)&type=([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /search/%1/%2/%3? [R=302,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(search/[^/]+)/?$ /$1\%3F/%{QUERY_STRING}? [L,NC,NE]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^search/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/?$ search.php?q=$1&start=$2&type=$3 [L,QSA,NC]

Answer 2

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} q=(.*)&start=(.*)&type=(.*)
RewriteRule /index\.php search/%1?/%2/%3

For the querystring you need to use a condition. Further help can be found here

Answer 3

If you want to rewrite the url:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)$ /index.php?q=$1&start=$2&type=$3 [L]
