           Product: Koha

Package install Apache performs unnecessary redirects using the following
directives:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (.*?)(?:[A-Za-z0-9_-]+)=&(.*)
RewriteRule (.+) $1?%1%2 [N,R,NE]

These directives were removed from etc/koha-httpd.conf many years ago, but they
still persist in the Debian Apache templates.

It means that every simple search to /cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl from the
masthead will redirect from /cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?idx=&q=blah to
/cgi-bin/koha/opac-search.pl?q=blah. 

It's OK if we have idx= in the URL. 

Let's reduce the amount of HTTP traffic we're generating.
