Rewrite for subdomain

Server NGINX
#1

I want to set a rewrite rule for redirection of search.php?q=word to
word.domain.com
I used the following rule but did not work.

rewrite ^(.*).$server_name /search.php?q=$1 permanent;

Try:

location ^~ /search.php {
return 301 http://$arg_q.domain.com;
}

and the reverse:

server {
listen 80;
server_name ~^(?.+).domain.com$;
rewrite ^ http://domain.com/search.php?q=$keyword permanent;
}
