Redirect to another page (visible on url bar) with nginx?

Server NGINX
#1

Hi!

I’m trying to figure out if / how I could redirect from an url to
another one, but i would like this change to be visible, i.e to change
the text / url in the url bar.

I’ve checked with url rewrite, but it seems to me that the rewriting is
only internal, is there a way to do a visible rewriting?

I would like to transform the search url created by a search form
(/search.php?key=(.)&page=(.)&cat=(.)&filter=(.)&orderby=(.*)) in a
clean url like /search/$1/$2/$3/$4/$5/ (and then the clean url will be
converted to something else via the rewrite module)

Is there any way to do that?

Thanks!

You want the word “redirect”, just like you used in the first paragraph.

Good luck,
