RewriteRule URL in .htaccess for index.php request parameters

Example URL: -

  • www.domain.com/index.php?bob
  • www.domain.com/index.php?jane
  • www.domain.com/index.php?fred

Need to rewrite as: -

  • www.domain.com/bob
  • www.domain.com/jane
  • www.domain.com/fred

I tried with a lot of options, but closest I can get to: -

  • www.domain.com/?bob
  • www.domain.com/?jane
  • www.domain.com/?fred

Below in .htaccess this is achieved ...

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s(.*)/index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]

Please, can someone indicate what I need to change to the mailbox? (question mark) in the URL?

Edit

Just noticed that by applying the anubhava answer below, the robots.txt file, for example, does not allow the .txt file, but simply displays the main page.

.htaccess below: -

RewriteEngine On

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s/+index\.php\?([^\s&]+) [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1? [R=301,L]

RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_sitemap [L]
RewriteRule ^googlebase.xml$ index.php?route=feed/google_base [L]
RewriteRule ^download/(.*) /index.php?route=error/not_found [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

#pos1
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ index.php?$1 [L,QSA] <--

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*\.(ico|gif|jpg|jpeg|png|js|css)
RewriteRule ^([^?]*) index.php?_route_=$1 [L,QSA]

#pos2

< - pos1, URL- robots.txt 404 , .

< - line pos2, URL- robots.txt .

robots.txt , Rewrite Base /: -

RewriteRule ^robots.txt - [L]
