Plus sign ( + ) in a rewrite rule (.HTACCESS on Linux Server)

Question

i've this snippet, but it doesn't works. Obviously is that plus sign + tha must be escape ?

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^orderby=position&controller=search&orderway=desc&search_query=t+max$
RewriteRule ^it/cerca$ http://www.wrs.sm/it/cerca?orderby=position&controller=search&orderway=desc&search_query=tmax? [R=301,L]

i want to redirect this url

http://www.wrs.sm/it/cerca?orderby=position&controller=search&orderway=desc&search_query=t+max

to this

http://www.wrs.sm/it/cerca?orderby=position&controller=search&orderway=desc&search_query=tmax

Thanks ;)

I found the solution, the correct rules are:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^orderby=position&controller=search&orderway=desc&search_query=t\+max$
RewriteRule ^it/cerca$ http://www.wrs.sm/it/cerca?orderby=position&controller=search&orderway=desc&search_query=tmax [R=301,L]

Please describe what do you want to do instead something that does not work. — cstamas, Nov 15 '12 at 15:55

            RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/it/cerca$
            RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} orderby=position&controller=search&orderway=desc&search_query=t+max
            RewriteRule (.*) http://www.wrs.sm/it/cerca?orderby=position&controller=search&orderway=desc&search_query=tmax [R,L]

This may be a good starting point.

...why, exactly ? How is it different from his RewriteCond/Rule combination ? – adaptr Nov 15 '12 at 16:08
it doesn't works :-/ doesn't give an error, simply remain same url – CalfCrusher Nov 15 '12 at 16:09
@adaptr I copied from a working example from a website operated by me. (Yeah, maybe + needs escaping like the asker said later...) – cstamas Nov 15 '12 at 22:21
