How to set up 301 redirect for URL with question mark

[robotseo]

I have encountered some issue with 301 redirect and htaccess file.

I need to redirect the following url:

http://www.domain.com/?specifications=colours/page/3

to:

http://www.domain.com/colours

The 301 redirect command I wrote in htaccess file is as follow:

Redirect 301 /?specifications=colours/page/3 http://www.domain.com/colours

And it doesn't work at the moment. What is the correct way to set up 301 redirect here?

Your help will be sincerely appreciated!

You might want to try escaping the question mark, so:

/?specifications
